New Delhi: Almost every hoax call across the nation's airports after the Brussels terror attack had a mention of this name, triggering alarm and frantic searches. Callers alerting about possible terror attacks by ISIS and other groups attribute the information to this supposedly Pakistani man.
But intelligence officials are clueless about him.
While none of the callers has been traced yet, officials said Razzaq's name was taken in four recent calls giving information about a possible attack at the Delhi airport.
Agencies admit he may be a fictitious person, but are unwilling to take chances by not taking the calls seriously. Also, it is possible that one person is calling repeatedly using Razzaq's name.
According to a senior Delhi Police officer, identifying these callers is extremely difficult as these voice calls were made through Internet. Apart from Delhi, Chennai airport has also received a call which mentioned Abdul Razzaq as the person planning an attack.
"Soon after the Brussels attack, there was a call at the Jet Airways call centre in Delhi claiming bombs have been planted in five of its flights originating from the Capital," a senior airport official said, requesting anonymity. "During this call, the caller said that he got information from Razzaq about the bomb. He also said there is another plan for Delhi. Later, the call was found to be hoax."
