A flight that landed in Delhi from Jammu has been isolated and is being checked, Dinesh Kumar Gupta, deputy commissioner of police at Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International airport said.

“A call regarding bombs in 10 Indigo flights was received at the airlines’ call centre in Chennai around 10am. A Srinagar-Delhi Indigo flight, 6E853, landed at the IGI Airport around 3pm.

“All passengers were evacuated and a thorough check is going on,” Gupta said.
