Once you start living separately from your parents you feel homesick, but it also has some advantages like you can party your heart out. But what happens when they make a sudden plan to come to see you and you're not exactly 'prepared' for them to arrive?
A 23-year-old dude was mortified by the idea of his parents coming over and kind of overreacted to the situation. He made an anonymous call to the airport and made a hoax bomb threat on an easyJet flight, according to The Independent.
The flight which was from Lyon to Rennes in France was forced to turn around because of the hoax call.?An easyJet spokesperson confirmed to The Independent that the flight on January 18 returned to Lyon as a result of security related issue.
"The author of the facts has been identified," the public prosecutor of Rennes said in a statement. He added that it was a student based in Rennes who did not want his parents, onboard the plane, to visit him.
After it was discovered that it was a hoax call, the student was taken into custody and according to Fox News, if prosecuted, the student could face up to 5 years in prison and will have to pay $85,000 (Rs 60,52,425).
Last year, a similar incident took place when a flight from Delhi to Ahmedabad was delayed by around four hours today following a bomb threat which was a hoax.
