Gujarat chief minister's office receives bomb threat
Last week, the Gujarat chief minister's office (CMO) and the state secretariat in Gandhinagar received a bomb threat email, however, it turned out to be a hoax after a thorough search of the premises, police said on Saturday.
A state government official received an email on July 17, in which the sender threatened to blow up the CMO and secretariat complex in the state capital, Deputy Superintendent of Police Divyaprakash Gohil said.
"The Gandhinagar police, along with the CM security wing, swung into action on the same day and conducted a thorough search in the entire premises with the help of the bomb detection and disposal squad and other agencies," he said.
Bomb threat turned out to be hoax
The official said the threat turned out to be a hoax as nothing suspicious was found. A few schools, lower courts and the Gujarat High Court had recently received such bomb threats, and they all turned out to be hoaxes.
