Bomb Threats Spark Panic Across Hyderabad: Key Locations Targeted
A wave of bomb threats has triggered panic and heightened security in Hyderabad as authorities scramble to verify the claims. The threats began with a phone call from an unknown individual, stating that a bomb had been planted in the City Civil Court. Reacting swiftly, police officials evacuated the court premises and brought in bomb disposal and dog squads to carry out a thorough inspection. Although nothing suspicious was found during the initial search, the threat set off a chain reaction of anxiety across the city.
Shortly after the first alert, the Hyderabad Police received multiple emails from unidentified senders, claiming that bombs had been planted at several high-profile locations. Among the targets mentioned were Raj Bhavan, Judge Chambers, Gymkhana Club, and Judge Quarters. These alarming messages prompted the authorities to initiate large-scale security checks and sweep operations in each of the mentioned areas. The police are treating the threats seriously, given the sensitive nature of the locations involved.
Security personnel sealed off entry and exit points at Raj Bhavan and the surrounding areas as bomb squads and sniffer dogs began combing the premises for potential explosives. Meanwhile, similar checks were underway at Gymkhana Club and the judge’s residential quarters. Police sources confirmed that so far, no explosive devices have been found at any of the locations, but the search operations are continuing with utmost caution. The threats have disrupted normal activity in all affected areas, and a state of alert has been declared.
Authorities suspect that the series of threats may be the work of mischief-makers aiming to spread fear or possibly to divert attention from other activities. The Cyber Crime Division has been roped in to trace the source of the threatening emails and identify the perpetrators behind the hoax. Meanwhile, citizens have been urged to remain calm but vigilant, and to report any suspicious activity. The Hyderabad Police assured the public that all necessary measures are being taken to ensure their safety.
