After a complete sanitation operation by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) team, it was eventually declared a hoax.
Following a bomb threat, passengers of a Singapore Airlines flight were stranded at the Mumbai airport for over eight hours overnight.
Officials said that a phone call about a bomb on the aircraft was made to the Air India call centre in Thane and that the information was passed on to the authorities.

Flight SQ423, an Airbus 380, originally scheduled for a 11.40 p.m. departure on Friday night departed from Mumbai only at 7.49 a.m. on Saturday.
"SQ423, scheduled to operate from Mumbai to Singapore on September 7 was delayed due to a security concern," a statement issued by the airline said.
The aircraft is scheduled to arrive in Singapore at 3.53 p.m. (local time). Efforts are on to identify who made the hoax call.
