Man detained over bomb threat on Jet flight repeat offender, minister wants him on no-fly list
Monday, October 30, 2017 IST
Police have detained a passenger of a Mumbai-Delhi Jet Airways flight which was forced to make an emergency landing in Ahmedabad on Monday after the discovery of a note on board threatened hijack and warned of a bomb in the cargo area, a police official said.
The passenger, identified as Birju Salla, a jeweller hailing from Rajula town in Gujarat’s Amreli district, was taken into custody based on suspicion after the plane landed in Gujarat, he said.
Salla, who now lives in Mumbai, is believed to be a repeat offender, the police official said. Officials are questioning him.

Earlier, civil aviation minister Ashok Gajapathi Raju said the person responsible for the security threat on the Mumbai-Delhi Jet Airways flight had been identified and should be immediately put on the no-fly list.
“This is the second time when Salla did such a mischief with Jet Airways. A few months ago, he tried to harass the airline using some other trick. It seems that Salla has some grudge against the airline,” the police official said.
