An Indian-American man travelling to Washington via Doha was offloaded from a Qatar Airways flight at Islamabad airport on Friday after he claimed there was a bomb on the aircraft.
Ajit Vijay Joshi was offloaded at the Benazir International Airport around 3:00am in the morning after Qatar Airways refused to board him on its plane, claiming the said person raised a bomb threat which turned out to be a hoax, sources said.
Joshi was kept under detention by the airport security and was only released after the flight landed safely in Doha.
Last week, the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF) held a passenger at the Benazir Bhutto International Airport for trying to smuggle heroin. A news release said ANF officials, during routine patrolling, apprehended Khalid Mehmood, a resident of Gujrat. Mehmood confessed to having ingested heroin capsules. The suspected smuggler was intending to board a flight for Italy.
