The 36-year-old Ahmedabad-based tour manager, arrested for allegedly using the words 'human bomb' during his security check at the Mumbai International Airport on Friday, has quite a different story to tell of the incident. At the court hearing for his bail on Monday, Akul Patel denied having used the words and claimed to have been cleared by security check the first time, before a senior officer called him back and cancelled his boarding pass.

"I was trapped into this whole thing and forced to sign an apology letter," Patel told mid-day after he was granted bail by the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate court on Monday.
