Bomb Threat Emails Target Multiple Government Offices in Maharashtra and Gujarat; Security Heightened

Analysed 11 Jun 2026·18 sources analysed·Pune, India·Politics
Bomb Threat Emails Target Multiple Government Offices in Maharashtra and Gujarat; Security HeightenedPreviousNext

On June 10, multiple bomb threat emails targeted key government and civic offices across Maharashtra and Gujarat, including the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), Mumbai's Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), Nagpur's RSS headquarters, and Gujarat's Chief Minister's Office and Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation. The threats, referencing the Khalistan National Army and citing specific blast timings, prompted evacuations, heightened security, and thorough searches by bomb disposal squads. No explosives were found, and investigations are ongoing to verify the credibility and trace the origin of the emails, which have been deemed hoaxes in some cases.
