A minor from Chhattisgarh was apprehended for sending bomb threats to four flights as part of a revenge plot against a friend. The class 11 dropout created a fake social media account in his friend’s name to implicate him in the hoax. Flights to New York, Muscat, and Jeddah were delayed or diverted for security checks, with no suspicious items found. Authorities arrested the minor in Rajnandgaon, investigating if there is a larger conspiracy. Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu condemned the threats, urging for stricter security protocols and proposing hoax callers be added to a no-fly list.
