Tirupati: Three hotels in the temple town of Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, received bomb threats via email, prompting immediate action from local authorities. Police, accompanied by sniffer dogs, conducted thorough searches of the establishments, ultimately confirming that the threats were a hoax.

"Three hotels received bomb threat alerts. An FIR has been registered regarding the email, and the case is being investigated from various angles. We will soon trace the culprits, and those behind the email will be identified after the investigation is completed," Tirupati East Police Station Circle Inspector Srinivasulu said.

Details of the threat

The emails were sent to three private hotels near Leela Mahal, Kapil Thertham and Alipiri on Wednesday evening. The title of the threatening email read: “Pak ISI to activate Improvised EDs in listed hotels, Evacuated by 11 PM! TN CM involved."

The message claimed that “international pressure” had increased due to the arrest of Jaffer Sadiq and suggested that “such blats (sic) in schools are necessary to divert attention away from M.K. Stalin family’s involvement in the case.”

Jafar Siddique profile

Former DMK worker Jafar Siddique was arrested in February for his involvement in drug smuggling in Tamil Nadu. Authorities are currently investigating the source of this threat to ensure public safety and order in the area.
