Aviation bosses slammed troublemakers with harsh punishment threats after a fake bomb scare grounded a packed jetliner bound for Nepal. The Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh promised swift legal revenge against anyone messing with flight safety following Friday's chaos at Dhaka airport. Group Captain SM Ragib Samad barked that passenger protection remains their top concern while criminals face serious consequences. Officials revealed that hoax callers could get the death penalty or life behind bars plus massive fines reaching five crore taka. The airport chief vowed to crush future disruptions with the full weight of Bangladesh law.
A mystery caller spooked air traffic controllers with false bomb claims about Biman flight BG-373 as it rolled toward takeoff with 149 souls aboard. Military bomb squads and security teams swarmed the aircraft while panicked passengers got rushed to safety lounges. Expert teams with sniffer dogs combed through every bag and seat for two hours before giving the all-clear signal. The plane finally escaped to Kathmandu at 9:22 PM after the thorough security sweep found nothing dangerous. Airport operations kept running normally while the drama played out on the tarmac.
RAB commandos nabbed three suspects including the actual caller who triggered the airport mayhem. Investigators discovered the phone threat came from a desperate mother trying to stop her son from flying away with his secret girlfriend. The woman's jealous scheme backfired spectacularly when authorities traced the call back to her family. RAB chief AKM Shahidur Rahman called the stunt regrettable and warned that such stunts damage the country's reputation worldwide.
