Threat to blow up five airports declared hoax

Two days after the car explosion near Delhi’s Red Fort, a threat to blow up five airports across the country with bombs surfaced on Wednesday. However, investigations later confirmed that the threat was a hoax.

Sources from Indigo informed that on Wednesday the airline received an email threatening to bomb five airports. It promptly shared the email with all relevant airports to alert them. It was reportedly received at around 3:15 pm.

Another source said that the email specifically named the airports in Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai, and Trivandrum.

The email claimed that bombs would explode within 24 hours, targeting all five airports. Upon receiving this threat, security agencies immediately took action.

After comprehensive inspections at the airports, the bomb threat turned out to be fake. Authorities are now working to trace the sender of the email.

Sources further confirmed that following the investigation, normal operations have resumed at all five airports.
