Mumbai: Airport security staffer responsible for hoax ISIS threat arrested

<p>Arrested after investigating officers trace his movements, captured on CCTVs on the day of note's discovery</p>

It was not just for fun. This security officer of Delhi-based SIS company, working in the cargo complex of the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, was genuinely interested in seeing how serious the matter turns out to be when the airport receives a terror threat from the ISIS. Taking a cue from the multiple terror attack threat notes recovered from washrooms at the airport in 2015, Akshay Gaikar left a similar note at the men's toilet on November 29. The note read there would be an attack on the cargo section of the airport on January 26, 2018. He was busted after a thorough investigation in the matter by the Sahar police, who arrested him on Saturday.
