According to the police, the caller told the helpline’s attendant that a bomb had been placed on a plane scheduled to take-off from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in 10 hours.
Police traced the call to Satara, where a 10-year-old boy with special needs, who is confined to his bed, made the call. Police informed the child’s parents and asked them to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.
