A 42-year-old Air India passenger named Manoj Kumar was arrested at Cochin International Airport on Sunday after he jokingly asked a CISF officer, "Is there a bomb in my bag?" during security checks. The comment caused immediate alarm, leading to a thorough inspection by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad. No threat was found, but Kumar was deboarded and handed over to the police for further investigation. The Air India flight to Mumbai departed as scheduled. Authorities warn travelers that even joking comments about bombs are taken seriously and can result in arrest.
