When a serious safety issue suddenly comes to light inside a commercial aircraft flying high in the sky, it is natural for the passengers and airline staff to hold their breath. One such hair-raising and shocking incident has recently been seen in the Indian skies, when there was a sudden commotion during an IndiGo or other commercial flight coming from Ahmedabad to Hyderabad Flight. During the flight, a 12-year-old schoolgirl jokingly told her classmate that 'there is a bomb in the flight'. This one small sentence created an earthquake in the security system inside the plane and on the ground. Let us know the whole truth behind this sensational incident and how the security agencies handled the situation after the plane landed. The incident that caused chaos in a plane flying in the sky due to a sentence of a girl took place on Saturday, when a regular flight was taken from Ahmedabad to Hyderabad. The plane was carrying a large number of school children and their teachers, who were returning home safely after their school trip. A 12-year-old girl studying in seventh class was also included among these students. During the journey the children were talking among themselves and having fun. Meanwhile, the minor student jokingly told a classmate sitting near her that 'there is a bomb inside the flight'. The girl had said this purely as a casual joke, and perhaps she had no idea what serious consequences her silly joke could have. But in the sensitive environment of an aircraft, safety comes first, and the same was proved in this incident as well. Vigilance of the cabin crew and emergency alert immediately issued by the pilot. What the girl said reached the ears of a cabin crew member passing through the aisle of the plane. When the crew member heard this, without wasting a moment he followed the safety protocol and immediately informed the Chief Pilot of the aircraft (Pilot in Command). In today's era, there is no carelessness regarding safety inside the aircraft. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the pilot immediately informed the Air Traffic Control (ATC) at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA), Hyderabad and a full emergency alert was declared. The security agencies inside the plane flying in the sky were immediately alerted, which inadvertently created an atmosphere of anxiety and tension among the passengers. As soon as the plane landed safely at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, it was immediately taken to an isolation bay as per the prescribed security protocol. As soon as the plane stopped, CISF, local police and Bomb Squad took complete control of the plane. After evacuating the passengers safely, every nook and corner of the plane was thoroughly examined. From passengers' luggage to cargo and every corner of the plane was searched with dog squads and modern equipment. After this marathon investigation that lasted for several hours, when the security forces did not find any suspicious, explosive or objectionable object, the administration and the passengers heaved a sigh of relief. It became completely clear that it was just a rumor and a silly child's joke. Case not registered as she was a minor, teachers counseled the girl After a thorough investigation of the plane, when it became clear that it was just a stupid prank, the police and aviation authorities felt a sigh of relief. While giving information to the media, a senior officer of the local police station said that since the accused student is a minor and she had said this unknowingly without any criminal conspiracy or malice, hence no formal criminal case (FIR) has been registered against her. However, considering the seriousness of this incident, it could not be ignored. Later, the responsible teachers and officials of the school made the girl sit with them, duly counseled her and lovingly explained to her that one should never use such misleading jokes or words regarding safety inside public transport, especially airplanes or trains. This incident has once again forced parents and schools to think about how important it is to make children aware of public safety and social behavior.
