Bomb Threat In Mumbai Hospital: The series of bomb threats to different institutions, airports, hospitals and schools across the country is not ending. Security agencies are using all their might to find out who is behind the continuous threat emails. Meanwhile, on Tuesday, more than 50 hospitals in Mumbai (Mumbai Hospital) received a bomb threat via email, after which the police administration also swung into action.
More than 50 hospitals across the city, including Mumbai’s well-known Jaslok Hospital, Raheja Hospital, Seven Hills Hospital, Kohinoor Hospital, KEM Hospital, JJ Hospital and St. George Hospital, have received bomb threats via email. Mumbai Police confirmed that the threatening emails were sent using VPN networks.
41 airports also threatened with bombing
According to ANI report, a fake email threatening to blow up Mumbai’s Hinduja College of Commerce was also received by the institute. Local police and bomb squad reached the spot and investigated but nothing suspicious was found. ANI quoted the police as saying, Mumbai’s VP Road PS is investigating the matter.
The bomb threats were received on the same day when 41 airports including Chennai, Patna and Jaipur also received similar threats, forcing the authorities to immediately act and take appropriate steps. The emails received by the airports had almost the same thing written, ‘Hello, explosives have been hidden in the airport. The bombs will explode soon. You all will die.’
Email comes in the name of KNR group
According to sources, these emails were received at the airports at around 12.40 pm from an email ID named ‘Xhumdu888’.
An online group named ‘KNR’ is suspected to be behind these fake threatening emails. He said that the group had allegedly sent similar emails to many schools in Delhi-NCR on May 1. Chennai airport officials said that security agencies conducted a thorough search of the Dubai-bound Emirates flight carrying 286 passengers after receiving a bomb threat.
However, the threat turned out to be a hoax. The flight scheduled to depart at around 9:50 am was delayed by two hours. On Tuesday itself, a bomb threat was received through email to a private college in Jaipur. Nothing suspicious was found during the search of the college by the police team and the bomb squad. The email was sent in the name of the ‘KNR’ group. Police said, ‘Efforts are being made to identify and trace the sender of the email.’
