“Last night, the SGP received a report about an Indian citizen who threatened the safety of a flight from Paris to Delhi. He behaved arrogantly and attacked the flight attendant. He knocked on the crew door. Witnesses were questioned. The person was presented as a defendant. He was detained for 72 hours. He has been provided with an interpreter and contact with the Indian Embassy in Bulgaria, ”explained SGP Municipal Prosecutor Iliana Kirilova.
Based on initial data, this is not an accident after drinking alcohol, he added.
“We have been working on the case since last night. The charge is for actions that endanger the safety of the flight. He has been furious since the beginning of the flight. This forced the captain of the plane to land him at our airport. The crime is serious and carries a prison sentence of 5 to 10 years. It is still difficult for us to find out if he is stable, but he is certainly aware of what he has done. Experts must be done. He did not behave very appropriately at the time of his arrest and shortly after He does not have a reasonable explanation for what was done, ”explained the head of the first department of the National Investigation Service, Ivaylo Angelov.
“I cannot confirm or deny a terrorist act. It is too early for information like this,” he added.
“According to the captain, the passenger was in conflict with some of the passengers. When he tried to calm down, he hit a member of the crew,” added Commissioner Teodor Chesmedjiev.
