Air india's Mumbai to New York diverted to delhi
A bomb threat earlier this morning caused an Air India flight from Mumbai to New York to be rerouted to Delhi Airport.
Soon after the aircraft took off on Monday at around two in the morning from Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, a bomb threat was sent via Twitter. The government's security regulatory committee ordered its diversion to Delhi.
Bomb threats were received by the airports of Vadodara and Rajkot in Gujarat ten days ago on October 5. The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) received the threat via email, which prompted a thorough security check at the airport terminals using bomb squads and dog teams.
