The trend of receiving false bomb-flying threats has not stopped. Meanwhile, bomb threats were received on 32 Air India flights on Tuesday. Panic was caused after information was received about a bomb threat on the flight.
After receiving information that there was a bomb on the flight, all flights made an emergency landing. After investigation, all threats were found to be false and the flight was diverted to its destination. Commercial airlines and several organizations across the country have received false bomb threats in recent weeks.
The number of threatening calls airlines are receiving is increasing rapidly. NIA has also stepped up its investigation in this regard.
Security agencies reported receiving more than 400 prank calls in the past two weeks, raising widespread concerns about passenger safety and the potential impact on national security.
Meanwhile, in response to these growing threats, the NIA’s Cyber ​​Division has begun a comprehensive analysis of these foreign threat calls. The investigation is focused on understanding the motivations behind these calls and assessing their authenticity.

It is also required to make “reasonable efforts” to “immediately” remove posts containing bomb threats or “will be held accountable” for failure to do so.
