Air India and aviation authorities today termed as false claims of a security scare onboard a recent Delhi-bound Air India flight from London.       

Nothing unusual was reported on the flight AI-112, which had departed from London Heathrow Airport on March 17 for Indira Gandhi International airport in New Delhi, officials said,adding, "There is no truth" in the reports which have appeared today about a hijack scare on the plane.       

A section of media has reported that there was an aborted hijack attempt on the national carrier's London-Delhi flight. They said the crew had become suspicious about a passenger, who "feigned" illness, and the other passengers, who claimed to be doctors and offered to help him on the flight, as they were "all Pakistani and insisted on meeting the captain".       

"There is no truth in it," Civil Aviation Secretary V Somasundaram told PTI when contacted.       

Air India too issued a statement saying all such claims were totally false and there were no Pakistani nationals as mentioned in these reports.
