A 23-year-old man from Kerala was arrested by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on Thursday for threatening to blow up the Mumbai Airport if his demands for $1 million in Bitcoin were not met.
The man, identified as Arjun A., sent an email to the authorities on Wednesday evening, claiming that he had planted explosives at Terminal 2 of the airport. He demanded that the money be transferred to a specified Bitcoin address within 48 hours, or he would detonate the explosives.
The ATS immediately launched an investigation and traced the email to Arjun's residence in Kerala. A team of ATS officers was dispatched to Kerala and apprehended Arjun on Thursday morning.
During interrogation, Arjun confessed to sending the email and making the threats. He said that he was frustrated with his life and wanted to make a lot of money quickly. He claimed that he had not actually planted any explosives at the airport,but he was hoping that his threat would scare the authorities into giving him the money.
Arjun has been charged with terrorism and criminal intimidation. He will be produced in court today.
