IndiGo Flight Diverted to Mumbai After Bomb Threat Email to Hyderabad Airport
An IndiGo flight from Jeddah to Hyderabad was diverted to Mumbai on Saturday morning following a bomb threat email received by Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. The email, sent to the airport's customer support, claimed LTTE-ISI operatives planned a blast mimicking the 1984 Madras Airport incident, mentioning nerve gas-filled IEDs. Authorities convened a Bomb Threat Assessment Committee, which deemed it a specific threat, leading to the diversion. The aircraft landed safely in Mumbai, underwent security checks, and no issues were found. Police have registered a case and are investigating the email's origin.
