New Delhi: When a 21-year-old Kashmiri student left from Bangladesh to reach her home in Srinagar, little did she know that her prank will press a panic button at IGI Airport and bring her face to face with Intelligence Bureau sleuths tracking terror.
The words - 'There could be bomb inside' - on her hand baggage was enough to raise an alarm as she reached Delhi via Kolkata. "We refer to books as bombs," was her simple explanation to intelligence officials who quizzed her for hours. Not only did she miss her flight to Srinagar, she also had to spend the night at the Jammu and Kashmir Bhawan in the capital.
According to sources, she wrote a message with white ink on her black hand bag. After reaching Delhi, when she went for security check to take a flight for Srinagar, a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) security staff saw that message and immediately raised an alarm.
According to the police, her friend who was also travelling with her decided to be with her until she was cleared.
When CISF contacted Delhi Police officers, intelligence agencies were informed without any delay.
"During interrogation, she revealed that she wrote this message without thinking that this can create panic at the airport. She also told the officers that normally, on campus they call books as bombs," a senior officer who was part of the interrogation team said.
According to DCP IGI Airport, DK Gupta, cops detained one Kashmiri student and released her after due process.
"After a joint interrogation she was let off. As a procedure, we have done an entry in our daily dairy register," Gupta said.
