A bomb threat email targeting Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) triggered a security alert, prompting extensive searches by police and bomb detection teams. The threat was later declared a hoax, officials said on Sunday.

According to Sahar police, an email threatening to blow up the airport with a bomb was received from an unidentified sender on Saturday, following which security agencies launched a thorough inspection of the airport premises and surrounding areas.
