A day after an American Airlines flight from New York to Delhi was forced to make an emergency landing in Rome, Italy, due to a bomb threat, the Delhi Police have registered an FIR in connection with the incident. The threat was received via email on February 23, and the flight was diverted and landed safely in Rome as per standard security protocols.

DCP (IGI Airport) Usha Rangnani said that the threat was received via email on February 23.

“The flight was diverted and safely landed in Rome, Italy. A complaint was later filed by the airline and an FIR has been registered in connection with the incident,” the DCP confirmed.

The case was lodged under Sections 217 and 351(4) of the BNS, along with Section 3 of the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against Safety of Civil Aviation Act at IGI airport police station.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
