Mumbai: A bomb threat email that claimed explosives had been planted at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport triggered a high-security alert on Saturday, prompting an extensive search by police and bomb disposal squads. No suspicious items were found, and the threat was later declared a hoax. The Sahar police have filed a non-cognisable (NC) offence against an unidentified sender.
The email was received at 11.22 am on Saturday with the subject line: “We have placed bombs.”
According to police, the message, which opened with a claim of being from a terrorist group, ended with a reference to SWAT Kats, an animated series.
The email was sent via a VPN network from the ID asmodeusoo884@gmail.com to feedback.bom@adani.com, which is the official feedback email for Mumbai Airport's Terminal 2.
A bomb threat assessment committee (BTAC) meeting was held at the airport from 11.55 am to 12.10 pm. The committee evaluated the threat and declared it 'non-specific.'
