New Delhi, January 13
A trainee ticketing agent of British Airways has been arrested for a hoax bomb call to a SpiceJet flight yesterday. After receiving the call, the airlines halted the departure and conducted a thorough search, but the authorities did not find anything suspicious.
The call was traced to Abhinav Prakash, a 24-year-old trainee at the British Airways ticketing counter. Prakash revealed he made the call so that his friends could spend some time with their girlfriends, who were flying to Pune.
