IndiGo Kuwait-Delhi flight makes emergency landing in Ahmedabad after bomb-hijack

A major security scare occurred on Friday when an IndiGo flight travelling from Kuwait to Delhi was forced to make an emergency landing at Ahmedabad airport after a hijack and bomb threat note was found onboard. The aircraft was carrying 180 passengers, all of whom were immediately evacuated and subjected to detailed security checks. According to airport sources, the alarm was raised when a tissue paper with a handwritten note threatening to hijack and blow up the plane was found inside the aircraft. This triggered a full-scale emergency response which prompted the pilots to divert the aircraft to Ahmedabad without delay.

Security agencies promptly cordoned off the aircraft upon landing. All passengers were deboarded safely and both passengers and their baggage were taken for thorough inspection. Authorities confirmed that each traveller is being individually screened and identified as part of the standard threat-response protocol. As of now, no suspicious object has been found but checks are underway, as per sources.
