NEW DELHI - More than 70 fake bomb threats have been made against flights operated by multiple Indian airlines last week, sparking fear among passengers and global delays, Indian media reported on Oct 20.
India’s government and civil aviation authorities have warned that “very strict action” will be taken. A report in The Indian Express said an anonymous account on social media X was suspended after posting bomb threats to at least 40 flights on Oct 18 and 19. “There are bombs placed onboard... No one will make out alive. Hurry up and evacuate the plane,” read the identical messages from the suspended account, the newspaper reported.
