CEO held for bomb hoax says he asked about 'BOM-DEL' flight

The CEO of a US-based company was arrested on Sunday for allegedly making a bomb hoax call because he was irked by flight delays at Mumbai airport. The accused, however, claimed he said "BOM" (the airport code used for Mumbai airport) as he was inquiring about the "BOM-DEL flight status". He was scheduled to fly with his wife and children.
