Cracking a joke about a “bomb in the bag” at the Devi Ahilyabai International Airport in Indore proved costly for a family of three as they not only had to undergo intense questioning and search, but were let-off only after they submitted a written apology.
They also missed their flight.
A man on Monday night reached the airport and while undergoing security check jokingly said there was a “bomb” in his luggage which alerted authorities at the aerodrome, airport director CV Ravindran said on Wednesday.
Security personnel thoroughly checked them and their luggage and also questioned them, he said.
The man was travelling with his wife and daughter.
