Chennai, June 23

A 27-year-old man hailing from Tamil Nadu’s Thanjavur district has been arrested for making a hoax bomb threat to a Mumbai-bound Indigo Airlines flight recently, the police said.

V Prasanna of Thiruvaiyaru was picked by a team of officials from the Cyber Crime Police Station of Central Crime Branch, an official release said.

He had made the hoax threat to the Customer Service Centre of the airline here through a chat on June 18, claiming a bomb had been placed in a Chennai-Mumbai flight.

A complaint was later registered with the cyber-crime wing.

The man was later remanded to judicial custody, the release added.

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).
