Teen's Hoax Bomb Threats Disrupt Flights: Chhattisgarh Boy Detained

A 16-year-old boy from Chhattisgarh has been detained for issuing multiple hoax bomb threats to several flights, causing widespread panic and disruptions. The boy, whose identity has been withheld due to his age, allegedly called multiple airports across the country, claiming that bombs had been planted on various flights.

The authorities took immediate action after receiving these alarming calls, leading to a series of checks and flight delays. Passengers were inconvenienced, and the airport security teams were on high alert until the calls were confirmed to be fake. 

According to the police, the boy used sophisticated technology to mask his identity, making it difficult to trace him initially. However, after thorough investigation and coordination with various cybercrime units, they managed to track him down. Sources suggest that he was apprehended at his home in Chhattisgarh.

The motive behind these hoax calls remains unclear, but police are investigating whether it was an act of mischief or a deeper attempt to disrupt operations. Authorities have assured that strict action will be taken against such acts to prevent future incidents.

While it is yet to be determined what prompted the boy to make these threats, the incident has raised concerns over airport security and the misuse of technology by youngsters. Such acts, even if intended as pranks, have serious consequences and disrupt the lives of many. 

The authorities are urging parents to be vigilant about their children's activities online, emphasizing that such behavior could lead to severe legal repercussions.
