Air India receives threatening e-mails

Air India today said that it had received some threatening e-mails and had referred them to the Mumbai Police for investigation.

However, it declined to divulge the actual contents of the e-mails.

Describing reports that its headquarters at Nariman Point in Mumbai was under threat as "incorrect and baseless", an airline spokesperson said that a "couple of e-mails" had been received under one of Air India's several e-mail IDs.

"These e-mails had been passed on to the Mumbai Police on Monday. It is now up to the police to look into their veracity," the spokesperson added.
