The Delhi Fire Service reported a bomb threat on Indigo flight 6E2211 from Delhi to Varanasi at 5:35 am on Tuesday. All passengers were safely evacuated via the emergency exits, as confirmed by the Delhi Fire Service.

According to airport officials, “A bomb threat was reported on an IndiGo flight from Delhi to Varanasi. The aircraft has been moved to an isolation bay for investigation. Aviation security and a bomb disposal team are currently on site.”
