Bomb Threat Emails Prompt Security Alert Ahead of Amit Shah's Jalandhar Rally
Ahead of Union Home Minister Amit Shah's rally in Jalandhar, Punjab, security agencies received bomb threat emails targeting multiple locations including schools, Devi Talab Mandir, the court complex, and buses. The threats, containing pro-Khalistan language, prompted heightened security and investigations, though no explosives have been confirmed. The rally marks the conclusion of the BJP's 'Nasha Mukt Punjab Yatra,' with Shah also set to meet families affected by drug abuse. Similar threats have been reported in Punjab and Haryana in recent months, often later deemed hoaxes.
