Email targets Mumbai airport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Threatening Email: Mumbai International (BOM)<\/a> Airport on High Alert<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At approximately 11:06 am, a menacing email was directed to the feedback inbox of Mumbai International Airport Limited (MIAL). The subject line ominously declared “Blast,” with the message issuing a final warning to the airport. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The threat explicitly stated an intent to detonate Terminal 2 within 48 hours unless a ransom of one million dollars in Bitcoin was promptly transferred to a specified address. The email also hinted at another alert after 24 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response to this threat, security measures were intensified at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vismay Pathak (36), an executive at MIAL, detailed in the complaint, “While stationed at the quality and customer care center within the airport, I came across the threatening email. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It explicitly warned of airport detonation within 48 hours if the ransom demand was unmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
