Such threats were received four times before
This is not the first time that there has been a threat to blow up a flight or airport with a bomb. Such cases have come to the fore earlier as well.

However, the plane landed safely and no bomb was found in it.
Such a situation arose again in the same month. Earlier in April 2023, an Indigo flight going from Chandigarh to Mumbai received a bomb threat. But nothing was found in the investigation. In July 2022, a bomb threat was given at Chandigarh airport through an unknown call, but nothing was found.
