Guwahati: Security agencies have been put on notice after an email warning about a bomb on an IndiGo plane was received at the Mumbai international airport, police officials said Sunday.
While the warning turned out to be a hoax, the security has been beefed up at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, they said. “On Saturday night, an email was received at the Mumbai airport, in which it was written that a bomb had been planted in Indigo flight number 6E 6045,” an official said.
This flight was scheduled to leave Mumbai and arrive in Ahmedabad. It was checked after the email, but nothing was found on the flight, the Mumbai police said.
The flight was nonetheless delayed.
Security agencies are investigating the matter.
