Bomb squad and emergency response team (ERT) were pressed into service at Jaipur collectorate following bomb threat. The entire campus was evacuated as there was chaos all around the office due to bomb scare.
The threat was received on the official mail id of Jaipur collector Jitendra Kumar Soni.
Soni immediately informed Jaipur Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph about the bomb threat received at 11.30 am on Thursday.
Soon after the bomb squad and the Emergency Response Team (ERT) occupied the office and combed about 200 rooms. However, nothing suspicious could be found.
This is not for the first time bomb threat has been received for government office. On February 20 this year, SMS Medical College received a bomb threat on the official mail id of the medical college principal. It also turned out to be farce.
Earlier, on October 4, 2024 along with Jaipur International Airport, more than 100 airports across the country were threatened with bomb strike.
Apart from that many reputed private schools in the city have also received similar threats from time to time.
The BuckStopper, run by a group of seasoned journalists, holds the powerful accountable. The buck stops with them, as they cannot shrug off their official responsibilities.
