Rajasthan's Neem Ka Thana Railway Station gets bomb threat, no suspicious object found

A bomb threat at Rajasthan's Neem Ka Thana station triggered a major security search. No explosives were found, but the hoax call adds to a series of recent threats.

"Strict action will be taken against anyone found spreading panic through such hoax threats. - Officials"

Jaipur, Dec 16

In a series of frequent bomb threats being received in Rajasthan, Neem Ka Thana railway station in Sikar district received a bomb threat on late Monday night, triggering panic and an immediate security response. However, after an extensive search operation, no suspicious object or explosive was found, bringing relief to officials and the public alike.

According to information received, the threat was conveyed through an unknown phone call and message, following which the administration swung into action. Teams from the Government Railway Police (GRP), Railway Protection Force (RPF), and Neem Ka Thana police cordoned off the railway station and launched a thorough search operation. A dog squad was also pressed into service to scan the premises. After hours of intensive checking, security agencies confirmed that no bomb or suspicious material was found at the railway station.

Despite this, the sudden deployment of security forces and checks created an atmosphere of fear among commuters and local residents.

Authorities have now begun an investigation to trace the origin of the threat call and message, with intelligence agencies actively searching for those responsible.

Officials said strict action will be taken against anyone found spreading panic through such hoax threats.

Notably, Rajasthan has witnessed a spate of bomb threats over the past month, targeting key government and public institutions.

Threatening emails and messages have earlier been received by the Rajasthan High Court, Ajmer Dargah Sharif, Ajmer Collectorate, Kota Collectorate, and most recently, the Hanumangarh Collectorate on Monday morning. In several cases, buildings were evacuated and security checks carried out, though no explosives were found at any location.

These repeated threats have even led to the postponement of court proceedings at the Rajasthan High Court on multiple occasions. The administration has reiterated that all such threats are being taken seriously, security arrangements have been strengthened statewide, and investigations are ongoing to curb the misuse of threats aimed at disturbing public order.

Thank God nothing was found. But the fear it creates is real. My cousin was traveling from that station last night and said it was complete chaos. Security agencies did a good job responding quickly, but the source of these calls must be traced. It feels like someone is testing our system's patience.

While I appreciate the swift action by GRP and RPF, there has to be a better way to verify these threats before causing mass panic. Evacuations and searches disrupt daily life. Can't our cyber cells track these anonymous calls and messages more effectively? Just a thought.

I'm visiting Rajasthan as a tourist and following this news. It's concerning, but I must say the security response seems very thorough. Hoping the police find who's behind this series of hoaxes soon. It's unfair to the people living here and the hardworking security forces.

This pattern is suspicious. High Court, Dargah, Collectorate, now a railway station... It seems coordinated to create fear and test response times. Our agencies should treat this as a serious cyber-terror activity, not just petty mischief. Jai Hind.

As a resident of Sikar district, this news is very close to home. We feel safe that the police are alert, but also anxious. These hoax calls waste precious resources and time. The punishment should be so severe that no one dares to do it again. 🙏
