Terror outfit Islamic State is feared enough to cause panic even by the very mention of it. A passenger triggered an alarm on a Karipur-bound Indigo flight from Dubai on Thursday as he turned violent, shouting slogans against the IS.
The flight was forced to land at Mumbai, and the man taken into custody by the CISF. Panic was let loose as C. Shameer, 33, from Kannur started shouting at the other passengers soon after the flight took off from Dubai. The attempt by another passenger to pacify him failed as he turned violent. Shanavas from Thalassery was injured in the attack.
Some passengers apparently mistook Mr. Shameer as a supporter of IS ideology, and sent out wrong messages to their relatives when the flight landed at Mumbai.
