Dhaka Mother’s Bomb Hoax Delays 149 on Kathmandu Affair Flight
Dhaka mother fakes bomb threat, grounding Biman flight BG-373 and 149 would-be Kathmandu travelers, after learning her married son Emon planned a Nepal getaway with his girlfriend—prompting top Google queries like “What happens in airline bomb threats?” and “Can you get arrested for fake bomb threats?” Three arrested, including Emon’s mother, as RAB, the Air Force, and a canine squad scour the aircraft for explosives. “Such actions damage the country’s image,” warns RAB chief AKM Shahidur Rahman.
After 149 passengers and seven crew spent hours imagining airborne intrigue, investigators revealed Emon’s mother and wife tried every tactic before phoning in the bomb hoax—answering, “Why do airlines take bomb threats seriously?” and “What’s the penalty for bomb hoaxes?” The search summoned a bomb disposal team, dog squad, and the Bangladesh Air Force, all for a mother’s desperate ploy to ground romance at 30,000 feet. “Such attempts should never be made in the future,” RAB’s chief declared, as airport lounges morphed into real-life telenovelas.
When 142 passengers and seven crew evacuated BG-373, emergency teams found neither explosives nor illicit love notes—just a cabin echoing with the silent fallout of a mother’s airborne intervention.
