Three Indian Airports on High Alert Following Hijack Threats
Airports in the Indian cities of Mumbai, Chennai and Hyderabad are on high alert on Sunday after a hijack threat, local media reported.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The alert was issued after a woman sent a letter to Mumbai police saying that she heard six men in a restaurant discussing hijacking flights from airports in these cities, the NDTV broadcaster reported.
Police informed the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) that is responsible for ensuring security at Indian airports. As a result, counterterrorism teams were deployed to boost security at the airports.
Airlines advised passengers to avoid last-minute check-ins and to cooperate with security forces at the airports.
