Police are looking at whether a Malaysia Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur to Bangalore was SABOTAGED, forcing it to make an emergency landing this morning.
Flight MH192 had to turn back and land at the Malaysian capital's airport when a tyre burst during take-off.
It landed three hours after take-off with 166 passengers and crew on board.
During a press conference today acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein called for police to conduct an investigation.
Confirming that the possibility of sabotage would be looked into, inspector general of police Khalid Abu Baker reponded: "We will take the necessary steps to investigate."
The news came after acting transport minister Hishammudin Hussein asked police to look into the possibility of sabotage.
Mr Hussein said that normally incidents like this would not be dealt with by his department, but because of the disappearance of flight MH370 the government was monitoring the situation closely.
On March 24 this year, another Malaysia Airlines flight, MH066 from Kuala Lumpur, was forced to land in Hong Kong after it suffered an electrical failure on the way to Incheon, South Korea.
He told reporters: "These sort of incidents should not happen. I have directed that although [Malaysia Airlines] is under Khazana [Malaysia's commercial department], the ministry should be given the report as soon as possible.
