New Delhi: More than 400 threats have been received so far this year in the case of threats to target and bomb flights of various Indian airlines. Which has become an all time record.

In the digital age, most threats are being received through e-mail, Twitter or other social media platforms. Understanding the seriousness of the matter, National Investigation Agency NIA has also started investigating it. So that in a way, this matter of spreading ‘flight terror’ can be investigated to the bottom whether any terrorist organization or other foreign forces are involved in it. However, NIA says that no FIR has been registered in this matter yet, but the agency is also investigating it at its own level.

Who is behind the threat?
Security agencies have not yet revealed whether any terrorist organization operating from abroad or others is involved in the threats to bomb flights through social media. But in this case, the way Indian Airlines is being targeted and threats are being issued every day, the agencies are not even denying this. The agencies say that at present we cannot hold any organization operating from Pakistan or any other country responsible in this regard. Investigation is being done keeping every angle in mind. After this a firm conclusion can be reached.
