00:00Was there a hijacked threat to Air India, which is also formerly Vistara aircraft, Kolkata to Mumbai flight?
00:07According to our sources, the captain informed the ATC about a slip written about hijacking the flight before the take
00:15-off.
00:15The passengers have been offloaded, of course. The aircraft has been taken to an isolation bay.
00:20They'll, of course, ensure all security protocol. And the bigger question, if this was a hoax, was this a real
00:24hijacked threat?
00:25But in the backdrop of what we saw in the Fly Dubai flight, especially when there were Israeli passengers and
00:31more,
00:32could there be more such instances? Or was this someone attempting to play a joke?
00:37Either way, remember, all protocols will have to be followed. Tapas Sengupta is joining me on this.
00:41Tapas, what route of the aircraft was this? What happened? And what are the details that you have?
01:13Tapas Sengupta is joining me on this.
01:16The thrifting of the aircraft is going on at this moment. Now, it will take a considerable amount of time
01:22because the security forces have already surrounded the aircraft and they're leaving no stone unturned to find out the origin.
01:29Or they're also questioning the passengers who were on board, whether it was a handiwork of any passenger of this
01:36flight
01:37or the previous flight that it had when it had arrived, it was in Qatar.
01:41So, all aspects are being checked minutely at this moment.
01:44But as of now, the flight remains to be at the isolation bay.
01:47And as we speak, the testing process is on by the Air Force Authority of India and the security forces.
01:52All right, keep tracking all the latest on that. Tapas is telling us about what appears to be a note,
01:58a slip that the captain was handed over.
02:00But it will remain to be seen about how did it reach the aircraft and, of course, the passenger safeties
02:05of prime significance right now.
02:07Right now, there's no security scare. They are, of course, investigating it further.
02:10OK, thank you.
