| November 30, 2009 | Indigo passengers held up for hours following hoax call | | New Delhi: An Indigo flight with 164 passengers on board was grounded here this morning, following a hoax call that said there was ammunition inside the plane. The flight
was headed for Hyderabad. "We were kept under siege, as a procedure we have been
kept under hold for one and a half year, now everything is smooth and nothing
was there. Certainly they are arranging facilities for refreshment and we are
being taken back," said Abhinav, a passenger. Passengers claimed they were not
told the reason behind the delay and for take off. "The authorities told us that
there was some technical problem, we asked them to de-board us, we were held for
two hours inside the aircraft without any refreshments. The officials later de
boarded us, they did not tell us the reason, later we realised that it was for
security check," said Suresh Kumar Singhal, another passenger on the Indigo flight.
The police have arrested a 20-year-old man in connection with the call. | |
