Security agencies were put on high alert after an email was received at Mumbai International Airport warning about a bomb on an IndiGo flight,said Police officials on Sunday.
While the warning turned out to be a hoax, security at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport has been beefed up, they said.
“At the Mumbai airport on Saturday night, an email was received stating that a bomb had been planted in Indigo flight number 6E 6045,” an official said.
This flight was scheduled to depart from Mumbai and land in Ahmedabad.
The flight was checked after the email, but nothing was discovered, according to Mumbai police. However, the flight was delayed.
Security agencies are investigating the matter.
