A Chennai-bound airliner made an emergency landing at KL International Airport (KLIA) over a bomb scare involving suspicious package, which turned out to contain three gold bars.
 
The IndiGo budget airline flight from Singapore to Chennai, India was diverted to KLIA after the crew found the package in the toilet of the plane early this morning.
 
According to AFP , the fire and rescue team inspected the package and found three gold bars, which weighed less than 1kg combined.
 
About 100 passengers were evacuated and authorities found nothing amiss. 
 
"It was not chemicals. It was bars of gold-coloured metal wrapped up in cloth," said Sani Harul, a fire official, told AFP .
 
A police spokesperson said that the flight crew was questioned about the package but not the passengers, since the package was not in anyone's possession.
 
According to NST , the package was handed over to the police. The airliner later resumed its flight to Chennai.
