After major airports of the country were placed on high alert when calls threatening hijacks were received in Delhi and Kolkata, airport authorities in the city also received a threat on Tuesday, albeit an unusual one.
The threat reads: “CSI ATTECK (sic) BY ISIS DATE 10/01/15”. CSI was seen to allude to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport. The Sahar police station was immediately informed about the message.Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Madhukar Sankhe, Airport division, said, “The scribble is on a wall in a washroom. No assumptions can be made right now, and we are investigating the matter from every angle.” Security agencies stated that they have enforced rigorous checks for passengers at the airports.
Two more calls to AI
The threat calls in Delhi and Kolkata had been made to the offices of Air India (AI). The national carrier received two more threat calls one each on Monday and Tuesday at their Thane office. In the phone call on Monday evening, a man threatened to hijack one of their aircraft. An AI executive received the call on its customer care number.
The caller simply said, “Maine tumhare plane ko hijack karunga (I will hijack your plane),” and hung up. The airline officials, airport handling management, and the security handling agencies were immediately informed about the call. Authorities at the call centre have also lodged an FIR at the Shrinagar police station in Thane.
