An Air India flight traveling from Frankfurt to Delhi was diverted to Jaipur after a hijack alert was received. The threat was later confirmed to be false, but the scare prompted immediate emergency protocols and forced the aircraft to land safely at an alternate airport.
Investigations into the incident point toward a potential software glitch in the Air Traffic Control system as the likely cause. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has initiated a formal probe to identify the technical failure behind the false alarm.
