Indian officer arrested for alleged false bomb threat on flight, causing emergency landing.

An Intelligence Bureau officer, Animesh Mandal, was arrested for allegedly causing a false bomb alarm on an IndiGo flight from Nagpur to Kolkata, leading to an emergency landing. Despite claims that he was merely reporting information he received, Mandal was charged under laws against aviation safety and criminal intimidation. His lawyer argues he was acting in good faith, but the lack of a special court in Chhattisgarh has delayed his trial.
