Airport, 8 hospitals get hoax bomb threats
Hindustan TimesThe Indira Gandhi International Airport and at least eight city hospitals on Sunday received bomb threats through email, on the lines of threats sent to over 200 schools in Delhi-NCR on May 1, with the threats turning out to be hoaxes, officials said. There were also similar threats to DDU Hospital, Bara Hindu Rao Hospital, Aruna Asaf Ali Hospital, Dada Dev Hospital and Janakpuri Super Speciality Hospital between 3pm and 6pm, police said. Deputy commissioner of police Manoj Meena said, “An email was received by the hospital’s official email ID about a bomb threat. No suspicious items have been found, as of now.” An airport official said: “The mail came to CISF email ID and a bomb threat assessment committee at the airport started working on the matter. However, the committee later found that the email was a hoax.” Airport officials said the bomb threat assessment committee declared the email as “non-specific”.
