A Hyderabad-bound Indigo flight from Jeddah received a bomb threat on Saturday, according to NDTV. The flight was diverted to Mumbai after the security threat.
The threat was received by the Rajiv Gandhi International via an email, as per reports. The email claimed that there was a 'human bomb', onboard the IndiGo flight and directed them to prevent its landing in Hyderabad.
It further stated, "onboard LTTE-ISI operatives have planned a major 1984 Madras Airport Modus operandi style blast". Airport authorities filed a complaint with the police and the flight was diverted to Mumbai.
An Indigo spokesperson told NDTV, that "a security threat was received for IndiGo flight 6E 68 operating from Jeddah to Hyderabad on 1st November 2025 and the aircraft was diverted to Mumbai. Following the established protocol, we informed the relevant authorities immediately and fully cooperated with them in carrying out the necessary security checks before the aircraft is cleared for further operations".
They added that refreshments and regular updates were offered to the passengers to minimise inconvenience. "As always, safety and security of our customers, crew and aircraft are our topmost priorities", they remarked.
No issues were found during the inspection and the flight landed safely in Mumbai. Further police investigation is underway.
