The threat came a week after eight schools in Ahmedabad received bomb threats
The email, received around 6.30am, was sent from an address bearing the name “Hindu Murda” and was purportedly linked to Khalistan . It referred to the 2008 terror attacks and contained slogans such as “Pakistan Zindabad”, “Khalistan Zindabad” and “Allah-o-Akbar”. The message also warned of a “big surprise for Indian govt”. Patan SP V K Nai said the security check at the collectorate had been completed and teams were sent to other designated locations, including the sub-jail, for drills.
The threat prompted security checks at prisons across Gujarat, including at Sabarmati Central Jail in Ahmedabad, where gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and terror suspects are lodged. Police deployed dog squads to search the premises. Similar checks were carried out at jails in Vadodara and Rajkot. No suspicious object had been found on the premises till Tuesday evening. Security was also stepped up at govt offices. Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad and dog squad teams searched the Mehsana collectorate. In Patan, police temporarily restricted public entry to the collector’s office during the search. Police restored entry after checking the premises.
