The Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) has apprehended an individual from Thiruvananthapuram in connection with a threatening email received by Mumbai’s International Airport. The email, received on Thursday, warned of a bomb explosion at Terminal 2 and demanded a $1 million Bitcoin payment within 48 hours to avert the alleged attack. The sender, using the email address “quaidacasrol@gmail.com,” prompted Sahar police to register a case under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code related to extortion and causing fear or alarm. The detained person is being transported to Mumbai for further investigation by the ATS. Authorities will probe the credibility and motives behind the threat, emphasizing the seriousness of such incidents in the context of airport security, reported ANI.
