Reported by Neha Jaiswal
New Delhi: Police have arrested a 28-year-old man accused of making more than 50 fake bomb threats across different parts of India, triggering panic and large-scale security responses. Authorities say the suspect allegedly targeted multiple institutions and public places through threatening messages and calls.
According to officials from Delhi Police, the accused was tracked down after an extensive investigation involving cyber-tracking and technical surveillance. The suspect allegedly sent hoax bomb threat messages to schools, airports, government offices, and other public locations, forcing emergency security checks and evacuations.
Investigators revealed that each threat triggered major security operations by local police and bomb disposal squads, creating widespread panic among the public. However, all the threats eventually turned out to be false alarms.
Police sources said digital evidence, including phone records and internet activity, helped authorities trace the suspect’s location. The accused was taken into custody and is currently being questioned about his motive behind the repeated hoax threats.
Officials believe the man may have acted alone, but investigators are also checking whether anyone else was involved in planning or spreading the fake alerts.
Authorities have warned that making fake bomb threats is a serious criminal offense that can lead to strict legal action, as it wastes emergency resources and spreads fear among the public.
Further investigation is ongoing, and more details about the case are expected to emerge in the coming days. 🚨
