Hoax Bomb Threat Email Triggers Alert At Jammu Airport, Nothing Suspicious Found

JAMMU : A full anti-sabotage drill was carried out at Jammu airport after a private airliner received a bomb threat email on Sunday, officials said.
However, nothing suspicious was found during a thorough search conducted by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and police, without affecting the air traffic, the officials said.
“An email was received by a private airliner this morning, and accordingly, a security drill in such situations was followed to rule out the presence of any explosive substance. The email was a hoax,” an official of the Airport Authority of India said.
He said a police complaint was lodged in this connection, and further investigation is underway to identify the sender of the e-mail. (Agencies)
