False Bomb Claim Halts Indigo Flight 6E‑6423; Investigation Launched

Indigo's flight 6E‑6423, scheduled to leave Bengaluru for Ahmedabad on Thursday night, was stopped after a note warning of a bomb was discovered in the aircraft's forward lavatory. The note, penned by an unknown hand, warned "Don't go. Bomb is! Please," and set off a rapid response from airport security and law‑enforcement agencies. Standard security protocols were activated, and the plane underwent a meticulous search prior to its intended 8 p.m. departure. Inspectors found no explosives or suspicious devices, confirming the threat as a hoax. Following the incident, Indigo filed a formal grievance with the airport police, stressing the disruption to flight schedules and the serious safety concerns for passengers and crew. Police have recorded an FIR and are pursuing leads to determine who placed the note and why. This case closely resembles a June incident involving an Indigo service from Lucknow to Delhi, where a bomb warning on tissue paper was also proven false after a full security sweep.
