Over 100 airports, including Jaipur, get bomb threat via email
Cybersecurity teams are working to trace the origin of the email and identify the sender
PTC Web Desk: A threatening email was sent to more than 100 airports across the country, including Jaipur International Airport. The email, addressed to the official CISF (Central Industrial Security Force) email ID, was received at around 1.21 pm. The message contained alarming content, warning of imminent explosions and claiming to challenge the world’s most powerful nations.
Following the receipt of the threat, immediate action was taken by security personnel. Bomb Disposal Squads (BDS) and security teams conducted thorough searches at the Jaipur airport. The airport administration also filed a complaint with the local police station, and various security agencies were put on high alert. Cybersecurity teams have also begun investigating the source of the email.
The DCP (East) confirmed that the threat was detected at approximately 2 pm, and the email was found to have been sent to over 100 airports across India. As part of a coordinated security response, teams from the CISF, local police, BDS units, and dog squads carried out an extensive search operation at Terminal 2 of Jaipur International Airport.
Meanwhile, cybersecurity teams are working to trace the origin of the email and identify the sender.
The email sent to the CISF warned: "Remember, we stand alone against the most powerful nations in the world. We have frustrated everyone. Be prepared for the result. Everywhere, there will be boom... boom... boom. All the best. There is no way to escape."
This is not the first time Jaipur International Airport has been the target of a bomb threat. On February 15, the airport received a bomb threat via an email from an ID named "Don of India." Security agencies conducted a detailed investigation but found no suspicious items. Similarly, on December 27 last year, Jaipur and several other airports were also threatened with a bomb explosion. An email sent to the official customer care ID triggered chaos, but once again, no suspicious objects were discovered.
