A letter to blow up the Indian Air Force (IAF) station in Ambala, Haryana, where the first batch of five Rafale aircraft are stationed, was received by authorities, police said on Saturday (22 August).
The letter was received on Friday after which the authorities lodged a complaint with the nearby police station, a police official told IANS.
As a precaution and to ensure safety security has been beefed up at the Ambala station, he added.
"The letter appears to be a hoax and the handiwork of some mischief-mongers," a senior police official told IANS.
The air base is surrounded by villages, including Dhulkot, Baldev Nagar, Garnala and Panjokhara and the National Highway 1-A.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
