A Mumbai-bound Air India passenger was detained at the Kochi Airport after he made a casual reference to a ‘bomb’ to a CISF officer during a routine security check, officials said Sunday.

In a statement, Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) said 42-year-old Manoj Kumar, who was scheduled to fly from Cochin to Mumbai on an Air India flight on Sunday morning made an “alarming” comment to a CISF officer at the x-ray baggage inspection counter.

“During the pre-embarkation security check, Mr. Kumar asked the CISF officer, “Is there any bomb in my bag?” This statement triggered immediate concern and prompted the airport security team to take swift action,” the CIAL said.
