HYDERABAD-<\/strong> The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) in Hyderabad <\/a>has been placed on heightened vigilance following the reception of multiple anonymous emails by airport authorities, cautioning about a potential RDX attack (bomb threat<\/a>) at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday morning, the initial email arrived, prompting immediate action from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), responsible for airport security, along with the RGI airport police, various branches of the Telangana police, and teams from central agencies. They conducted thorough searches, confirming the email as a false alarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyderabad Airport Bomb Threat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Despite the security agencies’ relief, another email with a similar threat reached the airport authorities on Thursday evening, leading to a repetition of the extensive search protocol. After completely securing the airport, this threat was also deemed a hoax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the surprise of the airport authorities, a comparable email appeared in their inbox on Friday. While security agencies suspected it to be another hoax, confirmation only came after a comprehensive security drill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concurrently, the RGI airport police initiated a case against the unidentified sender. Deputy Commissioner of Police, Shamshabad, K Narayana Reddy, informed TOI <\/em>that efforts are underway to locate the individual behind these false emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar Incident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A threat email targeting Terminal 2 CSMIA <\/a>was received on Thursday (Jan 11, 2024). Using the email address\u00a0quaidacasrol@gmail.com, the sender demanded one million dollars in Bitcoin within 48 hours to prevent the alleged explosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sahar police initiated a case against an unidentified individual in connection with sending the threatening email.<\/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 \u201cBlast,\u201d 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, \u201cWhile 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
