Bomb threats to Mumbai-Ahmedabad flight, international airport

Thane, Jul 17: Navi Mumbai police registered an FIR and started a probe in connection with calls received about a bomb on a Mumbai-Ahmedabad flight and a threat to blow up Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in the metropolis, an official said on Thursday.

The calls were received between 2pm and 2:30pm on Wednesday at the office of the Navi Mumbai joint commissioner of police, a CBD police station official said.

“The callers said a bomb had been placed on board the Mumbai-Ahmedabad flight. Another call said Mumbai international airport would be blown up at 6:30pm. Thorough checks did not reveal anything suspicious. An FIR has been registered under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita as the calls were intended to disturb public peace and create fear in the minds of the people,” the official informed.

The mobile phone numbers from which the calls were made have been identified and further probe is underway through these leads, he added.

No one has been arrested in the case so far, the official said. (PTI)
