Amid a rising number of bomb threats reported across the country, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (SVPI) in Ahmedabad and two schools in Surat, received emails containing bomb threats on Tuesday.
In a repeat of recent incidents, Ahmedabad’s Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport received yet another bomb threat email on Monday — the second such hoax within just nine days.
Gujarat High Court was placed on high alert on Tuesday after a bomb threat email was received, triggering an emergency security response by the bomb detection and disposal squad along with the local police.
This is the second hoax bomb threat incident handled at the Ahmedabad airport in less than a week and the sixth such incident so far since May 2024.
An Air India Express flight from Dubai to Jaipur carrying 189 passengers received a bomb threat via email on Saturday.
The Crime Branch tracked down the caller through cell tower triangulation and detained 24-year-old Arihant Vinod Kankaria, a resident of Sardarnagar.
According to the authorities, the message stated that there was a bomb in a Coke can on Aeroflot flight SU232 that would detonate mid-flight
