A man who carried out a bomb hoax in Derby city centre claims he shouted “bum” instead of bomb.<\/p>\n

Jayesh Thanki, 49, of Osmaston Road, has been jailed for three years after making a bomb hoax in the city centre, just 15 days after being released from prison for a similar offence.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Thanki was found guilty of making a bomb threat through malicious communication after an incident at The Spot in Derby.<\/p>\n

During his trial, Thanki attempted to convince the jury he had shouted “bum” rather than “bomb”, but his explanation was rejected.<\/p>\n

The incident occurred on April 26, 2024, when Thanki shouted that he had a bomb at The Spot in Derby city centre, within earshot of several members of the public.<\/p>\n

A council cleaner, who witnessed the incident, immediately called 999.<\/p>\n

Police later found Thanki 400 metres away from the scene, where he repeated his bomb threat to the officers.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Sentencing Thanki, Judge Martin Hurst said: “You were in the centre of Derby at an area known as The Spot shouting out loudly so it could be heard by many members of the public including a member of the council cleaning team that you had a bomb.”<\/p>\n
