A report last Tuesday (October 15) said that seven Indian planes were bombed today within a few hours. On Monday (October 14), officials of three international planes received similar bomb threats.
Among them, a plane bound for the United States made an emergency landing in Canada. An Air India plane from Delhi to Chicago made an emergency landing at Iqaluit airport in Canada after receiving a bomb threat.
Apart from this, on Tuesday afternoon, a bomb threat was received on an Air India plane from Jaipur to Bengaluru. It was hastily made an emergency landing at Ayodhya airport. After a long search operation, no bomb was found. A Lucknow-bound Indigo plane from Dammam, Saudi Arabia landed in Jaipur after receiving a similar bomb threat. Similar threats were reportedly made on a SpiceJet plane from Dwarbhanga to Mumbai and an Akasa Air plane from Siliguri to Bengaluru.
An atmosphere of fear was created among everyone from the passengers of the international plane to the airmen after receiving this bomb threat. However, nothing suspicious was found in any case.
There has been an uproar over the bombing. It is not yet known who or who spread this bomb threat. But the central government of the country is shaking as the incidents of bomb attacks in planes are coming to light.
India's Ministry of Civil Aviation has convened a high-level meeting on Wednesday (October 16). The matter will be discussed there. Civil aviation security agency (Bureau of Civil Aviation Security) said that an investigation is underway in this regard.
Bomb threats were sent to several Indian airlines on Monday and Tuesday, two days in a row. Originally, the bombshell was spread using the X (formerly Twitter) handle. Some of those accounts have already been identified, said an investigating officer.
He said, we have identified several accounts. They have been closed. Bomb threats were made from those accounts.
Bombing threats have been made several times in the past. Threats were sent not only to planes, but also to 'bomb hospitals and trains'. But in almost all cases it has been identified as fake. But the aviation security agency is unwilling to take the bombings on Monday and Tuesday lightly.
