Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport received a bomb-threat email on Sunday morning, triggering a security alert and an ongoing investigation by police and airport authorities. The email, sent around 6 a.m., was described by airport officials as non-specific in nature and did not impact ongoing flight operations.
Earlier the same day, two schools in Delhi—CRPF Public School in Dwarka and a Sarvodaya Vidyalaya near the Qutub Minar—also received bomb-threat emails, which authorities later declared hoaxes. Fire services, police, and bomb disposal teams were dispatched to these locations but did not find any suspicious devices.
The IGI airport threat came amid an increased pattern of such email alerts in the city, all of which have, to date, been deemed false alarms. Simultaneously, Jammu airport was conducting a full anti-sabotage drill after it, too, received a bomb-threat email targeted at a private airline.
While intensive searches by security agencies at IGI found nothing suspicious and air traffic continued unaffected, a formal police complaint has been filed. Investigators are now working to identify the sender of the email and establish motives behind these repeated threat
