Almost three weeks after an email warning of a bomb blast at the Ludhiana Mayor’s office and the residence of Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh, panic spread again in the city on Wednesday after similar emails were received on the official email IDs of the Municipal Corporation Ludhiana and the Deputy Commissioner’s office. This time, the sender threatened blasts using a ‘human bomb’ at these offices.
The email sender warned of bomb blasts at the Ludhiana Mayor’s office, the Municipal Corporation office, the Deputy Commissioner’s office and railway tracks in the city.
Cybercrime teams and intelligence agencies have launched investigations to trace the origin of the email and identify the sender. Officials said technical details, including IP addresses and digital footprints, were being examined.
Notably, all bomb threat emails received in Ludhiana in the past have turned out to be hoaxes.
Additional DCP Dev Singh said that after receiving information about the bomb threat email, police teams conducted a thorough search of the premises but nothing suspicious was found.
