New Delhi: Security was stepped up at Indira Gandhi International Airport here after its control room received a "non-specific call" about a man heading for Germany after "doing something big" in the national capital.
DIAL control room's call centre in Gurgaon received the call around 7 PM, following which security agencies were informed and security was ramped up, said a police official.
"This was not a hoax call. Such calls are technically called non-specific calls and this particular one originated from an international number. It is also suspected to be executed through the Internet," DCP (IGI Airport) D K Gupta said.
"The caller, whom we are trying to trace for details, called up and said that a man who is heading for Germany from IGI will do something big in Delhi before he leaves. He did not disclose any further details," Gupta added.
