This Monday&#8217;s Dammam-Delhi flight (IX 170) was diverted to Ahmedabad after a tissue paper with the words &#8220;bomb red 430&#8221; written on it and a box, both in black ink, drawn on it was found in the lav.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>On landing in Ahmedabad, AI Express filed a complaint with the airport police, seeking a probe into who might have written the threat note. So apart from the normal protocol of checking passengers, aircraft and baggage, handwriting tests on all the 32 passengers, four cabin crew members and four pilots (airlines send extra crew to areas impacted by the US-Iran war to handle last-minute diversions).<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"8\"\/>&#8220;The agencies had asked the airline to give the same tissue paper for getting handwriting samples. Six tissues were sought for each passenger,&#8221; said sources. AI Express arranged an alternate aircraft with new set of crew members that flew all the 32 passengers to Delhi on Monday-Tuesday midnight.<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The crew members were asked to stay back for the probe.
