Life plus 50 Million Rupees . . .

That's what an Indian hijack hoaxer is going to pay for leaving a hijack note in an aircraft bathroom.

Anyhow, they should have sentenced him to drop from the sky from about 20,000 ft, right into the Indian ocean.

Instant fish food, cheap burial, poetic justice, no protesters hanging around the grave . . . What's not to like?

Well...That is almost 1200 years of India's median wages. So, not exactly a light fine.

Good luck to them in collecting the loot while the hoaxer is cooling his heels in jail.

Would "cooling his jets" be a better pun? Or was this intended lol

While that might have had a bit more sting to it I've always used the "heels" version.

I think the 50 mil was just to scare people, and for publicity. A guy with that much scratch in India can live like a prince. This guy was a disaffected nutter that bought a plane ticket.

Scare people?.....as if the prospect of serving a life sentence for pulling a prank won't get that job done.

Funny, how the death would be almost unnoticed by the people in a land where lots of people drop dead, but an absurd punishment about money would be noticed.
