Bomb threats in Delhi, Chandigarh, Punjab

The latest bomb threats come on the heels of a similar incident last Wednesday when an email was sent to the Delhi mayor's office.

That threat was later confirmed as a hoax, but not before Kamla Market police station officials conducted a thorough search operation with bomb disposal and dog squads.

Earlier on Monday, several schools in Chandigarh and parts of Punjab received bomb threats via email.

Threats sent by Khalistan National Army

The recent bomb threats in Chandigarh and Punjab were reportedly sent by an outfit named Khalistan National Army.

The threats led to evacuations and search operations by bomb disposal and dog squads across various locations, including the Punjab and Haryana secretariat and Ferozepur district court.

Recently, an unemployed man from Mysuru, Karnataka, was arrested for sending 1,100 bomb threats across the country via email.
