Pune Municipal Corporation Receives Third Bomb Threat This Year, Security TightenedPreviousNext

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) received its third bomb threat email this year, targeting official email IDs including that of the municipal commissioner. Security agencies, including the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad, Anti-Terrorism Squad, and local police, conducted thorough searches at PMC headquarters but found no suspicious items. The latest threat, which also referenced locations in Mumbai and upcoming events, heightened security concerns ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's scheduled visit to Pune. Investigations are ongoing.
