In related news, Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport received a bomb threat on Wednesday afternoon from an unidentified caller who claimed there was a plan to bomb the airport.
The call was directed to the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) control room, with the caller naming an individual, who was allegedly carrying explosives on a flight from Mumbai to Azerbaijan.
This was one of more than 400 similar calls made in recent weeks, disrupting air travel and prompting security checks. Although the frequency of bomb threats seems to have declined in recent days.
Multiple schools in Mumbai and Delhi, along with hotels in Tirupati, also received bomb threat calls last month, prompting police action. In most cases, the threats turned out to be hoaxes, according to officials.
