A bizarre incident in Bangladesh led to hours of chaos at the airport and the detention of several individuals. A mother, upon discovering that her son Imon was planning to elope to Nepal with his lover, called in a fake bomb threat to stop the flight. The Biman Bangladesh Airlines plane scheduled to fly from Dhaka to Kathmandu was halted on the apron following the alarming report.
Infidelity Crisis Disrupts Flight Operations
According to local reports from the Dhaka Tribune, Imon—who is married—had secretly planned a romantic escape with his mistress. Upon learning about the plan, both his wife and mother sought to prevent the departure. Allegedly acting on a friend’s suggestion, the mother phoned in a false report claiming there was a bomb on board.
Bomb disposal units and trained sniffer dogs conducted a thorough three-hour inspection of the aircraft, but no explosives were found.
Truth Quickly Uncovered
Police quickly identified the source of the call during their investigation. It turned out the caller was none other than Imon’s mother, who admitted she had made the false report to stop her son from fleeing with another woman. Authorities arrested the mother, the daughter-in-law, and at least one acquaintance in connection with the hoax.
Flight Delay Turns into Family Drama
After the all-clear, the aircraft was cleared to resume preparations for departure, although officials have not confirmed whether Imon ever made it to Nepal.
Aviation authorities emphasized that false bomb threats severely disrupt passenger safety and flight operations, warning that such actions carry serious legal consequences.
