Breaking: Indigo Kuwait–Hyderabad Flight Makes Emergency Landing in Mumbai After Bomb Threat

A major security alert unfolded early this morning after an Indigo flight travelling from Kuwait to Hyderabad received a bomb threat mid-air. The flight, numbered 6E1234, took off from Kuwait at 1:56 AM local time and was scheduled to land in Hyderabad. However, Hyderabad Airport authorities received a threatening email claiming that a passenger onboard was carrying a bomb. Acting swiftly, the Air Traffic Control relayed the warning to the cockpit. Since Mumbai was the nearest major airport, the plane was immediately diverted and made an emergency landing at 8:10 AM. The aircraft was escorted to an isolation bay for safety protocols. All passengers were safely deboarded, and a thorough security check of the plane is currently underway. Bomb detection squads and CISF teams are scanning the entire aircraft to verify if any suspicious object or device is present. Visuals from Mumbai Airport show heightened security and emergency response teams on standby. Authorities are also investigating the origin of the threat email and whether it was a genuine alert or a hoax. Further updates will follow as the situation develops.
