Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport faced a heightened security scare recently after a bomb threat was received. The threat, allegedly made by someone claiming to be "Mohammad from Azerbaijan," suggested that a bomb had been placed at the airport. This prompted swift action by airport authorities, including immediate evacuation of certain areas and increased security measures.
Thankfully, the situation was declared a hoax after a thorough investigation, which included bomb disposal teams and a full security sweep of the area. This is part of a broader series of bomb threats targeting Indian airports. In October alone, several flights, including international ones from Mumbai, received bomb threats through social media channels, triggering large-scale security drills.
These threats have raised concerns over airport security protocols and the effectiveness of tracking those responsible.
