At Patna’s Jayprakash Narayan International Airport, authorities responded immediately to the email threat received by the airport director around 1:10 pm, intensifying security protocols.
Similarly, Vadodara Airport in Gujarat also received a bomb threat via email earlier in the day, leading to heightened security and police involvement. Investigations, including cybercrime units tracing the email sources, have been launched to apprehend the culprits behind these threats.
These incidents follow a pattern of hoax bomb threats impacting Indian aviation. Recently, a Dubai-bound flight from Chennai faced significant delays after a similar threat. Security agencies conducted thorough checks, ensuring passenger safety amid rising concerns over such malicious activities.
Furthermore, Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport also encountered a bomb threat targeting a flight to Dubai on Monday, underscoring the seriousness of these incidents.
