A bomb threat on IndiGo flight 6E2211 from Delhi to Varanasi prompted an emergency evacuation on Tuesday. Passengers exited via emergency doors while the aircraft was moved to an isolation bay for inspection. A tissue paper with "bomb" written on it was found in the lavatory, sparking the alert. Security protocols were followed, with aviation security and bomb disposal squads on site. No explosives were found, confirming the threat was a hoax. This incident follows a series of recent fake bomb threats across India, including at major airports, hotels, and educational institutions.
