The boy then searched for Patna airport contact details on Google and executed the hoax. Police said the boy had been let off after his parents signed a bond.
The force has also been trying to crack a similar September 9 incident wherein a caller alerted a Go Air call centre on a bomb having been placed at Patna airport.
