Kolkata, Nov 26 (IBNS): A passenger travelling on a Jet Airways flight was arrested at Kolkata Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport on Monday after he was seen having a 'terror talk' on Snapchat (multimedia messaging app) by a co-passenger, media reports said.
The flight, which was going to Mumbai, was about to take off when the incident happened.
The co-passenger saw the man was allegedly sending a picture of a masked man with words "terrorist, destroy".
The man's action was reported to a cabin crew by his co-passenger.
The man was arrested immediately and taken into the police custody for questioning. His family has been called to the police station.
