# Mumbai man arrested after bomb remark delays IndiGo flight 2026-08-15T12:40:50+00:00 | India | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A 55-year-old Mumbai man was arrested after allegedly telling IndiGo staff that his bag contained a bomb during security checks for flight 6E333 to Delhi on August 9. The remark led to his removal from the aircraft and more than 100 passengers being asked to disembark. Security personnel searched the plane and baggage before clearing them. The flight, scheduled to depart Mumbai at 8 am, left about an hour late without the passenger. The Times of India reported that Anuj Jayaram Suvarna later told police he had made the comment as a joke. An FIR was registered under Sections 125 and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Suvarna received bail and IndiGo classified him as an unruly passenger. ## Coverage - ndtvprofit.com Tags: Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Central Industrial Security Force, Delhi, IndiGo, Mumbai Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/mumbai-man-arrested-after-bomb-remark-delays-indigo-flight/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
