A 22-year-old man working at the Manohar International Airport in Goa has been arrested for allegedly making a hoax call about a bomb at the airport, police said.
The police control room received a call at around 4.45 p.m. on July 29 informing about the planting of a bomb "at airport", North Goa district Superintendent of Police (SP) Nidhin Valsan said.
Both the airports in the coastal State – the Manohar International Airport in Mopa area and the Dabolim Airport in Vasco – were put on alert. The bomb warning later turned out to be a hoax, he said.
