Analysed 21 Sept 2026·3 sources analysed·Mohali, India·Crime
Bomb Threats Target Courts and Schools in Punjab, Prompting Security MeasuresPreviousNext

Bomb threat emails and handwritten letters targeted courts and multiple private schools across Mohali, Ludhiana, and Mansa districts, prompting evacuations and security searches. Police and bomb disposal squads found no suspicious items, deeming the threats hoaxes. Authorities are investigating the origins, with some threats referencing political figures and alleged militant links. These recurring incidents have caused disruptions and heightened security, but officials have yet to find effective measures to prevent them.
