Mangaluru International Airport authorities conducted extensive security checks after receiving a bomb threat email on Tuesday night claiming explosives were planted on a plane and elsewhere in the airport. The email, sent by a purported terrorist group called 'Funing', threatened to kill everyone at the airport. Mangaluru Police were alerted on Wednesday morning and launched search operations, tightening security with additional checkpoints. An anti-sabotage team swept the airport along with a bomb detection squad but found nothing suspicious. A case was registered by Bajpe Police under IPC Section 507 for criminal intimidation by an anonymous communication. The threat comes after similar emails were sent to multiple airports across India on the same night.
