A 13-year-old boy was recently traced as the person who had sent out a hoax mail threat to Delhi airport, according to reports. During the investigation, the child admitted it was a prank. He was trying to check if the authorities could track him down. To put this into context, on June 4, an email was  received that an Air Canada flight, which was to depart in a few minutes for Toronto carried a bomb. However, the threat later turned out to be a hoax. There was significant disruption as there was a massive security response. It turned out that it was an empty threat, and the culprit was a teenager.

The boy said that he sent the email just for fun and was inspired by a similar hoax at the Mumbai airport.
