An email claiming a bomb was placed at Hyderabad Airport led to brief panic and triggered a security drill on Tuesday morning.
Security was increased and Hyderabad Police rushed a police team to the airport and conducted a detailed search operation but did not recover anything, officials said.
Later it was found that the bomb threat mail was a hoax and subsequently, an FIR was registered.
"We received information yesterday from the Rajiv Gandhi International Airport officials that they have received threatening mail stating that there is a bomb in the airport. Immediately our team went and conducted a search, and nothing was found. We have registered a case and further probe is on," Hyderabad's RGIA Police said.
