Vadodara airport receives bomb threat email

NEW DELHI: Authorities at Vadodara airport investigated a bomb threat sent via email, which was later determined to be a hoax, according to police on Saturday.
The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) at Harni airport in Vadodara received the threatening email on Friday morning.
A comprehensive search of the airport premises was conducted by the police, fire brigade, bomb disposal squad, and dog squad.
"The threat was general for all airports listed in the email. The airport premises and the funnel area were searched, and the bomb threat was found to be a hoax," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Panna Momaya.
The email, sent from [email protected], mentioned airports in Ahmedabad, Rajkot, and Bhuj in Gujarat but did not specify the location of the bomb.

The email read, "I have tickled their ego and have frustrated them! Hahahaha! Result? Boom, boom and bangs! Big big bangs!! Hohohohohoho! No stopping, no escape! Let the games begin! Jai Mahakal, Jai Ma Adishakti!"
