Panaji: On Monday, airports in Jaipur, Kanpur, and Goa were targeted with bomb threat emails, leading to a significant increase in security measures and the implementation of thorough search operations. Although officials suspect these emails to be hoaxes, efforts are currently underway to trace the sender.
This alarming incident occurred just two days after several other airports received similar hoax emails. Dabolim airport in Goa was the latest target, receiving one such email on their official account. In response, the police and bomb squad conducted an extensive search operation after a complaint was lodged by airport authorities.
SVT Dhanamjaya Rao, the director of Dabolim airport, emphasized that while security measures have been heightened, regular flight operations remain unaffected.
Similarly, Jaipur International Airport also received a threatening email on Monday morning. After a meticulous search operation, no suspicious items were found.
Authorities are now working closely with officials from different states to track down the individuals responsible for these hoax emails. The technical cell of the city police is actively investigating the matter.
In Uttar Pradesh, Kanpur Airport also beefed up security measures in response to the threat. Despite the heightened alertness, authorities did not find any suspicious items during their thorough searches.
