Security was stepped up at Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) after the police received threatening calls and messages on Sunday. Investigations revealed the call to be a hoax and efforts are on to identify the caller, said the police. On Sunday night, the inspector of the airport police station received a call on his official phone from a man warning him “to be careful about flights landing at KIA that night on Monday evening and night”. The caller spoke in Hindi and sounded inebriated. He claimed he had demands, which if unmet would jeopardise the safety of passengers. A few hours later, the inspector received messages on WhatsApp, but this time in Kannada.More Related News
