Bomb Threat Emails in Ludhiana and Bathinda Prompt Police Searches and Security Measures
Bomb threat emails targeting government offices, courts, and schools in Ludhiana and Bathinda prompted police searches, which found no explosives. The threats, citing groups like Babbar Khalsa and Khalistan National Army, caused temporary suspensions and unrest but were confirmed as hoaxes. Authorities are investigating the email sources and have increased security, especially ahead of Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann's scheduled visit to Bathinda. Similar threats have been reported multiple times in recent months across the region.
