Bomb threats trigger evacuations at four Rajasthan collectorates

Multiple Rajasthan districts on high alert after synchronized bomb threat emails force evacuation of government offices

"We have sleeper cells in India. Your hospitals will also be blown up - Threat Email"

Jaipur, May 20

Rajasthan's administrative machinery went on high alert on Tuesday after collectorates in Sikar, Pali, Bhilwara and Dausa received email threats claiming explosives had been planted on their premises.

The threat reached Sikar Collectorate minutes before a scheduled meeting to be chaired by the Chief Secretary.

Officers evacuated the building and moved the meeting to the Police Lines auditorium.

Police, administrative officials and a bomb-detection squad are sweeping the complex, while security has been tightened across the district.

A similar email landed in the Pali District Collector's inbox, warning that a bomb would "blow up the premises".

Police immediately cleared the building and summoned bomb-disposal and dog squads from Jodhpur. The area remains cordoned off.

The Bhilwara Collectorate received the same type of threat. The administration evacuated staff, barred public entry and called in a bomb squad from Ajmer.

A high-alert order is now in place across the district.

In Dausa, Collector Devendra Kumar alerted Superintendent of Police Sagar Rana after his office got an identical email.

Civil-defence teams and police combed the premises "inch by inch", officials said, while employees waited outside.

Cyber-crime units in all four districts are tracing the origin of the emails, but no sender has yet been identified.

Police officials said they are treating the incident seriously, noting that previous bomb hoaxes have disrupted government offices in the state.

Authorities have urged the public to avoid the affected collectorates until security checks are complete.

On May 14, Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh Stadium received a bomb threat.

The threat email, sent to the official ID of the Rajasthan Sports Council, carried the subject line 'HMX Bomb Blast Sawai Mansingh Stadium Operation Prabhakar Divij' and included a chilling message warning, "Don't mess with Pakistan. We have sleeper cells in India. Your hospitals will also be blown up for Operation Sindoor."

This is really concerning! Our security agencies need to track down these cyber terrorists immediately. The mention of Pakistan in previous threats shows their hand. We can't take such warnings lightly - remember 26/11! 🇮🇳

While the administration acted swiftly, why are our government email systems so vulnerable? We spend crores on digital India but basic cybersecurity seems lacking. Hope they catch the culprits soon and strengthen our systems.

As someone from Rajasthan, this is scary stuff yaar! These threats are disrupting daily governance and creating panic. The police should set up special cyber cells in every district to prevent such incidents.

The mention of 'Operation Sindoor' and Pakistan connection cannot be ignored. Our agencies must investigate if this is part of larger plan to destabilize India. Stay strong Rajasthan! 🙏

While security is priority, we must also think about common people whose work gets affected by such evacuations. Maybe collectorates should have alternate offices ready for such emergencies.

The language used in these threats ('Operation Prabhakar Divij') seems deliberately cryptic. Our cyber experts should analyze patterns from previous such cases. This is psychological warfare more than actual threat perhaps.

Instead of panicking, we need calm response. Media should avoid sensationalizing such threats. Last time similar hoax created unnecessary chaos in Delhi schools. Stay alert
