A notorious jewel thief and receiver of stolen property has been arrested by the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) team, putting an end to ongoing aircraft heists, said an official on Monday.

"A notorious jewel thief and receiver of stolen property has been arrested by Team IGI, putting an end to ongoing aircraft heists. A huge stash of stolen jewellery has been recovered," informed Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), IGI Airport Usha Rangnani.

The official further said that the accused undertook more than 100 air travels in the last 1 year.

"He committed the thefts inside the aircraft as well as during security checks," said IGI DCP Rangnani.

Earlier on Sunday, Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport and over half a dozen government hospitals in Delhi received bomb threats through email.

Soon after the bomb threats, a search operation was launched at all places.

The Delhi Police swiftly acted upon receiving the information regarding the threatening emails and started an investigation.

These bomb threat emails come nearly two weeks after multiple schools in Delhi-NCR received bomb threats via email.

According to the Delhi Police, a total of 131 schools received threat emails on May 1.

However, the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) issued an official statement calling the email a 'hoax.' (ANI)
