Mumbai woman dubbed 'Human Bomb' in hoax call to flight; nephew under scanner

MUMBAI: A 60-year-old woman from Andheri (West) dubbed as ‘human bomb', carrying Rs 90 lakh, and on her way to meet her boyfriend. This is what an anonymous caller told an official at Delhi airport control room.
Officials of Sahar police station, where a case was registered on Friday said that the caller has been identified as the nephew of the woman, Gouri Bharwani. A police team has been formed to track down her nephew.
The hoax caller, made at 1.30 am on Friday, claimed that a woman was flying from Mumbai to Delhi and board a flight from Delhi to Uzbekistan to meet her boyfriend. The caller said: "She is carrying Rs 90 lakh and is a human bomb."
The message was immediately relayed to Mumbai authorities, prompting all agencies in the city to gather information on passengers departing from Mumbai.
The police visited the address in Andheri mentioned by the caller but found out that the woman had relocated long ago. On obtaining the woman's details, they approached her only to find out that she is a 60-year-old who had never booked a flight ticket.
Further investigation revealed that the caller was suspected to be the woman's nephew, who allegedly made the hoax call due to a family dispute with her.
This is the 13th FIR of bomb threat at Sahar police station in 11 days . The police have solved one of the 13 cases by arresting a 17-year-old from Chhattisgarh.
