Unclaimed bag creates bomb scare at Chennai airport

An unclaimed hand bag at the airport on Thursday created a flutter before it was cleared by security personnel, airport officials said. Bomb disposal squad personnel removed the bag and found that it did not contain anything suspicious, airport officials said.

The bag might have been left behind by a domestic air passenger, they said, adding it was in the custody of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF).

Meanwhile, the glass door of a PSU bank ATM in the domestic departure area was found damaged and a probe had been launched into it, officials said.
