The stadium, among other locations in Ahmedabad, such as the High Court and various educational institutions, was among several venues to receive bomb-threat emails around 11 a.m. According to Sportstar, the Cyber Cell team visited the stadium to investigate the email, which also threatened to disrupt a Diljit Dosanjh concert planned for November 21.\n\nSubsequently, ten private schools in Ahmedabad received similar bomb threat emails, but these were later confirmed to be hoaxes after security checks were conducted. The Cyber Cell team at the stadium found no substance to the threat and informed the local police immediately after receiving the email.

Modi assumed office on October 7, 2001, as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, subsequently leading the BJP to a victory in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections and becoming India's Prime Minister. He has since secured three consecutive terms as Prime Minister.",
