Hoax bomb threat sent via email to Jaipur, Patna, Nagpur, and 38 other airports in India

Hoax bomb threat emails were sent to forty-one airports nationwide on Tuesday, leading to lengthy security checks by agencies to prevent sabotage. Official sources state that the emails were sent from the email address exhumedyou888@gmail.com at approximately 12:40 pm.

The sources informed PTI that emails prompted airports to implement contingency plans and conduct thorough terminal sweeps according to recommendations from the Bomb Threat Assessment Committees.

Sources indicate that suspicions are directed toward an online group called "KNR" as the probable origin of these fake emails, which had previously been aimed at multiple schools in the Delhi-NCR region on May 1.

Each email contained a threatening message saying: "Hello, explosives are hidden in the Airport." The explosives are about to detonate. All of you will meet your end. Even though the threats were determined to be false, airport activities continued smoothly, ensuring minimal impact on passenger travel, according to the sources.
