The Delhi Police have registered a case in connection with a bomb threat call at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) and the Paharganj area.
The call was received at 12.20 am on Wednesday.
The case in this connection has been registered in the case under sections 336/505/182 at the IGI Airport Police station against a man, Tejpal Solanki, a resident of Delhi’s Najafgarh.
Reportedly, security at the IGI Airport, along with the Ahmedabad and Amritsar airports, has been reviewed and increased recently after Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) founder Gurpatwant Singh Pannun released a video asking Sikhs not to fly by Air India after November 19 as their life could be in danger.
Pannun had also claimed that the Air India would not be allowed to operate on November 19.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had booked Khalistan extremist Pannun over his video threat.
The NIA registered a case against Pannun under sections 120B, 153A & 506 of the Indian Penal Code and sections 10, 13, 16, 17, 18, 18B & 20 of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967.
The video released on November 4 is available on social media.
