«Breaking News» Man who hijacked Bangladesh plane 'had a toy gun and wanted to speak with the Prime Minister'

A 25-year-old man tried to hijack a Bangladesh Airlines flight using a toy gun because he was 'having troubles with his wife' before being shot dead, police say.

The man, named only as Mahadi, used the gun to take a crew member hostage while also demanding to speak with the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina.

Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight BG 147, which was flying to the UAE from Dhaka on Sunday, was forced to make an emergency landing at Chittagong, before commandos moved in and shot Mahadi dead.

Kusum Dewan, additional commissioner of Chittagong police, said the man 'appeared to be mentally imbalanced.' 

A 25-year-old man, named only as Mahadi, used a toy gun in an attempt to hijack a Biman Bangladesh Airlines flight on Sunday 'because he was having troubles with his wife'

Mahadi used the gun to take a crew member aboard the plane hostage and demanded to speak with the Prime Minister before the jet made an emergency landing at Chittagong airport

'We heard he had a personal issue with his wife and demanded to speak to the prime minister. But we are still investigating. 

'We don't want to come to any conclusions right now.'

During the hijacking the man had claimed to have a gun and a bomb, though the gun turned out to be a toy and no explosives were found on him. 

One passenger told reporters he may have fired the weapon twice, but civil aviation authority chairman Air Vice Marshall Nayeem Hasan said the gun he was carrying was not real.

'According to those who have seen it, it appears that the gun was fake,' Hasan said.

All 142 other passengers disembarked from the flight safely. 

Authorities are now focussing on how he managed to smuggle even a fake gun past security at Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport.

'An inquiry is underway,' the civil aviation chief said.

'It is virtually impossible to breach this security as the system is designed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation,' he added.

Negotiators tried to persuade Mahadi to leave the plane but after they were met with resistance commandos stormed on board and shot him dead. Nobody else was injured

Hasan said Bangladesh security was in line with global standards and the country's airports were regularly checked by top international firms.

Pictures of the plane on the runway at Sha Amanat international airport in the dark dominated local newspapers on Monday.

Bangladesh, a Muslim-majority nation of 165 million, has struggled with radical groups in recent years, including the murder of atheist bloggers and progressive activists by Islamist outfits.

In a deadly attack claimed by the Islamic State group in 2016, militants killed 22 people including 18 foreigners at an upmarket cafe in Dhaka popular with Westerners.

That attack prompted a swift crackdown by Prime Minister Hasina, with hundreds of suspected militants and their sympathisers arrested or killed in raids across the country.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
