An anonymous caller claimed a passenger named Mohammad was carrying explosives on a flight to Azerbaijan, prompting heightened security measures.

The threat was reported to the CISF control room at Terminal 1 of Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport.
Authorities have increased security and are verifying passenger details as part of their investigation.
The incident is part of a worrying trend, with over 450 hoax bomb threats recorded in October alone.
