Mumbai : A Surat-based 18-year-old Class XII student who created a sensation by tweeting a picture of a plane crashing after a bomb blast was arrested by the airport police from Surat. The name of the young man is Lakshya Sanjay Jain and there is an allegation of threatening him by giving false information.

The mocking tweet is well suited to the target's body. ACP Sriram Koregaonkar confirmed the news but refused to divulge further details. Two days ago, an unknown person tweeted a picture of a plane crashing after a bomb exploded at the airport in Vileparle. This person wanted to indicate that the plane was going to crash due to a bomb explosion.

The security system at the airport was alerted after this tweet. So every plane was thoroughly checked before take off. But the officials did not find anything objectionable in any plane. As soon as it came to light that this was a bogus tweet, the airport police registered a case against an unknown person under section 505 (1), 506 (b) of the IPC on the complaint of an airport official.
