Hyderabad: Authorities at the Rajiv Gandhi International (RGI) Airport in Hyderabad have declared the bomb threat they received late Wednesday, February 11, was a hoax after conducting thorough terminal inspections.
They received an email warning of a blast at the airport timed to the arrival of a Gulf Air flight from Bahrain, police said on Thursday, February 12.
The RGI Airport Customer Support received the bomb threat email on Wednesday night from an unknown email address with the message titled “Blast in Hyderabad Airport Terminals When Gulf Air 274 From Bahrain Lands to RGIA”.
“The email threatened a blast at the airport at the time of flight landing. By the time the email was received, the flight had already landed. Security checking was carried out and nothing suspicious was found; the bomb threat turned out to be a hoax,” a police official said.
A case was registered, police added.
