Police in Delhi have nabbed a 13-year-old boy for reportedly sending a false bomb threat email to the Delhi airport, saying a device had been installed on a Toronto-bound Air Canada flight, authorities said on Tuesday. The child acknowledged he sent the threat "just for fun" to see whether it could be traced back to him. Following his arrest in the Delhi airport bomb scare case, he was taken before the Juvenile Justice Board, reported PTI. 

Usha Rangnani, Deputy Commissioner of Police (IGI Airport), talking about the Delhi airport bomb scare case, said that on June 4, a call was received regarding a bomb threat email targeting flight AC043 going for Toronto from Delhi's IGI Airport, the PTI report stated. Following routine operational procedures, the airport was placed on high alert and a full emergency was declared.
