Hoax Bomb Threat at Indore Airport Leads to Registered Case

On Tuesday, the airport authority received a bomb threat through an email. Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (ADCP) Alok Kumar Sharma stated that an unidentified person sent the email, threatening a bomb blast on the airport premises.
