A Canadian citizen was detained in Varanasi after causing panic aboard a Bengaluru-bound IndiGo flight by falsely claiming he was carrying a bomb. The incident occurred on Saturday night, prompting the crew to alert Air Traffic Control and move the aircraft to an isolation bay for inspection. Authorities confirmed it was a hoax, and the flight later departed safely. Police identified the passenger as Nishant and revealed he made the false claim to delay airport operations. An FIR has been filed, and the Canadian High Commission has been informed. Investigations are ongoing, officials said. (PC: HT Files)
