Rajanth Singh speaks to DG CISF over Turkish Airlines flight's emergency landing in Delhi

New Delhi, July 7 (IBNS): Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday spoke to the DG CISF over the emergency landing of a Turkish Airlines flight at Delhi's international airport after the pilot reported a "bomb threat".

"HM spoke to DG CISF over phone who apprised him of the situation at the IGI airport post the emergency landing of Turkish airlines flight," HMO India tweeted.

Reports said no  explosive has been found on the plane so far but all passengers are being questioned.

The plane, which was flying from Bangkok to Istanbul, was diverted to Delhi after the pilot reportedly told the Air Traffic Controllers that a message scribbled with lipstick on a bathroom mirror warned of a bomb being planted in the cargo.

The aircraft was then diverted to Delhi airport and it landed there at around 1 41 pm and all the 148 passengers were evacuated after the plane was taken to an isolated bay.

Commandos of the National Security Guard and the police are searching the plane.
