The Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) police on Thursday (January 30, 2025) identified the caller behind the hoax bomb threat to the airport a day earlier.

RGIA Sub-Inspector D. Apparao said that the caller was from Kamareddy district. “He was traced to Kamareddy using the call data record (CDR) details. A police team was rushed there on Thursday morning. However, he was not found,” the official said.

On Wednesday, anti-bomb squads and security teams conducted a thorough sweep of the airport, after a threat call was received by the Cyberabad police commissionerate control room. Further investigation is under way to nab the accused.
