Ahmedabad: Bomb threat to 10 schools turn out hoax
Ahmedabad witnessed a series of bomb threat emails sent to ten private schools on Wednesday, prompting security checks that ultimately determined the threats to be false alarms, according to officials. The sender purportedly claimed allegiance to the Khalistan National Army, and also alleged bomb blasts were planned at the JLN Stadium in Delhi on November 1 and the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on November 21, coinciding with scheduled concerts of singer Diljit Dosanjh.
The email urged individuals to stay away from the concerts at the two venues. Following the alert, police, bomb detection and disposal squads, dog squads, and anti-sabotage teams swiftly arrived at the schools for extensive searches. No suspicious items were discovered at any of the locations, officials confirmed. Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone 7, Shivam Verma stated that the email purportedly warned bomb blasts would occur at the schools in the morning.
The official mentioned that multiple schools, courts, and other establishments in Ahmedabad had received similar hoax threats in the past.
