Delhi airport receives threat calls against 2 London-bound Air India flights, security tightened

Security was tightened at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport Wednesday after it received threats against two London-bound Air India flights scheduled for tomorrow. According to the police, US-based pro-Khalistan outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) issued a call to boycott Air India flights and urged the victims of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots to occupy the airport to "internationalise" the issue. "We have got inputs that Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) has threatened that two Air India flights scheduled for London tomorrow won't be allowed to operate. The security has been tightened," said Rajeev Ranjan, DCP, Indira Gandhi International Airport. "Even though the airport is a secure place, based on the inputs we received, we have made adequate security arrangements for the safety of passengers," he said. A meeting was also held with officials of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF), Air India and Delhi International Airport Limited on Wednesday to discuss the massive security arrangements put in place, a senior police officer said.<br/>
