In the case of the bomb threat call to Gannavaram Airport, a case has been registered and the miscreant, Muppalla Ranga Raman, was arrested. The call was traced back to the Tanuku area, and it was discovered that Ranga Raman had made the fake call. It appears that he has a history of threatening VIPs through similar phone calls.

A week ago, Hyderabad Shamshabad Airport also received a bomb threat call. An unidentified man claimed that a bomb had been planted at the airport, specifically targeting an Indigo Airlines flight. Airport security was immediately alerted, but after thorough investigation, it was confirmed that there was no bomb present. This incident brought relief to the passengers.
