Law enforcement agencies are actively pursuing all cases of bomb threats against airlines and the government is closely monitoring the situation, Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu said on Wednesday.
Against the backdrop of at least 19 flights operated by Indian carriers receiving bomb threats in three days that later turned out to be hoax, he also said the Mumbai police have arrested a minor responsible for issuing bomb threats targeting three flights.
"All others responsible for the disruptions will be identified and duly prosecuted," the minister said in a statement as he expressed deep concern over the recent disruptive acts targeting the airlines.

"I assure all the stakeholders, including passengers and industry partners, that every possible effort is being made to safeguard the operations.
