In a disturbing incident, an unemployed man from Delhi was arrested after allegedly sending fake bomb threats to several flights. According to police sources, the man, desperate for attention and grappling with personal issues, sent out the false alerts, causing chaos and anxiety among airline passengers and staff.
The Delhi Police revealed that the accused had used multiple phone numbers to make the hoax calls, targeting flights departing from major airports across India. The threats led to heightened security measures, causing delays and inconveniences to hundreds of travelers. The authorities responded swiftly, ensuring that all the reported flights were thoroughly checked before they were allowed to depart, confirming the threats were baseless.
During the interrogation, the accused admitted to making the threats out of frustration over his prolonged unemployment. Police officials stated that such acts, driven by personal grievances, have far-reaching consequences, disrupting normalcy and wasting critical security resources.
