"UK-971 Delhi to Pune flight received bomb threat at GMR call center in Gurugram," a security agency official told ANI.
There were more than 100 passengers in the aircraft and all the passengers' luggage were de-boarded.
The passengers are currently in the terminal building and they were served refreshments, the official said.
