Mumbai: The airport police have detained a woman for allegedly making a hoax call about a terror attack. The control room received a call about hijacking and crashing of the Mumbai-Moscow flight by the Al-Qaeda. The woman claimed that she had overheard a few men making a plan in her locality in Mira Road. The CISF and the police launched a search, but could not find anybody with the description the woman had provided of the terror suspects. The woman spoke in English and sounded educated, the police said. According to sources, she was making this up to stop her estranged husband from leaving the country.
