An Indian national identified as Abhay Devdas Nayak, aged 41, was arrested after allegedly impersonating a Muslim and making bomb threats aboard an EasyJet flight from London Luton to Glasgow on July 27, 2025. During the flight, he reportedly shouted phrases including “Allahu Akbar,” “Death to America,” and “Death to Trump,” causing panic among passengers and forcing an emergency landing in Glasgow. Fellow travelers restrained him before authorities boarded and took him into custody upon arrival (www.ndtv.com).
Nayak has been charged under the UK’s Air Navigation Order and with assault, but so far no terrorism-related charges have been filed. Counter‑terrorism officers reviewed the incident but concluded the initial evidence does not meet thresholds for terrorism charges (Reddit). He appeared at Paisley Sheriff Court on July 29, 2025, entering no plea. Further investigations into his background and motives are ongoing (Reddit).
