IN an attempt to get a girl who rejected him into trouble, a 27-year-old man named Prasanna from Thanjavur, India, sent a fake bomb threat to the IndiGo Airline office in Chennai, Malaysia Nanban reported.
The email, sent on June 16, falsely claimed there was a bomb on a flight to Mumbai.
Authorities thoroughly searched the plane and found no explosives.

Prasanna was arrested and is awaiting sentencing.
