On the flight from Turkey to Leeds, England, on October 12, 2021, the flight crew smelled smoke coming from the bathroom and suspected the passenger, Arshad Khan, of smoking a cigarette.

The outlet said Khan initially told officials he had no comment and then later claimed someone had planted the weapons. In May of this year, another passenger was also hauled off a flight in the UK after being caught smoking in the bathroom.
