Bomb Threats Trigger Security Alerts in Ahmedabad and Chandigarh
Two bomb threat emails were sent to important places in India.
One was sent to an airport in Ahmedabad, and another was sent to a government building in Chandigarh.
The emails came from unknown people and said there would be a bomb explosion.
The airport and the government building were checked carefully, and the police are trying to find out who sent the emails.
Earlier, similar emails were sent to schools, but they were found to be hoaxes.
The police are investigating all these threats.
A bomb threat email was received by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport in Ahmedabad on Wednesday at 11:05 a.m.
The Punjab and Haryana Civil Secretariat in Chandigarh was evacuated on Thursday after receiving a bomb threat email.
Both threats were classified as non-specific, but comprehensive security checks were conducted.
The emails contained inflammatory and objectionable content, including threats and remarks about Sikhs, Hindus, and political figures.
Earlier, similar bomb threat emails were sent to around 30 schools in Chandigarh, causing widespread panic, but they were later deemed hoaxes.
