Gujarat: Bomb threat letter by unknown person to blow up Ahmedabad airport found, probe on

A letter written by an unknown person has been found at Sardar Patel International Airport, Ahmedabad, Gujarat threatening to blow up the airport, said Sharad Singhal, JCP Ahmedabad Crime Branch on Monday. Recently, such threats via email, social media posts and letters have increased. However, most of them have turned out to be hoaxes. All passengers were stopped at the airport itself after the threatening letter was found in the toilet of an IndiGo flight coming from Jeddah.

Bomb threat at St Stephen's College, 2 Delhi-NCR schools

The last incident of hoax threat was received in Delhi-NCR on February 7. A prominent college and two schools in Delhi-NCR received bomb threats over email on Friday, prompting police to deploy explosive disposal units and dog squads to comb the premises.

The threat emails were sent to St Stephen's College, a constituent of Delhi University, Ahlcon International School in Mayur Vihar Phase-1, and the Shiv Nadar School in Noida.

The Delhi Police later declared the threats as hoaxes after a thorough search of both the premises.
