All passengers were brought down from a plane at the Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport in Indian city Kolkata after a man started shouting before take-off that there was a bomb in the aircraft, airport sources said on Tuesday.

The Qatar Airways flight to London from Kolkata via Doha with 541 passengers on board was getting ready for take-off at 3.29 am on Tuesday when one passenger started shouting that there was a bomb in the plane, the sources said.

The Qatar Airways airline crew immediately informed the CISF. All the passengers were brought down from the plane and the aircraft was thoroughly searched by police with sniffer dogs but nothing was found, the sources said.
