The Moscow-Goa chartered flight with 236 passengers and crew members landed in Jamnagar following a bomb threat on Monday night. All onboard were evacuated safely and the plane was thoroughly checked by local authorities along with police and the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS).
Two teams of NSG were deployed for the detection of any suspicious substance on the Azur Air flight ZF2401.
According to police sources, more BDDS teams also joined the detection, and teams from neighboring districts like Devbhumi Dwarka and Rajkot were also roped in for the detection.
Sources said that the Jamnagar BDDS team in primary inspection had found nothing on the flight, but the state government does not want to take any chance. Security has also been tightened outside Goa International Airport.
“On the threat call, we are just taking precautionary measures. We have deployed a special force at the airport. We are watching the activities here, there is nothing to worry about. This can also be a rumour, but we are not taking any chances,” Salim Shaikh, DSP, Vasco had said earlier.
“The security agencies cordoned off the airport for 9 hours. Intensive checking of the aircraft and passengers has been done. The passenger’s luggage is being checked and details are being verified,” said Saurabh Parghi, Jamnagar Collector.
