Bomb Threat Email Targets Historic Gurudwara in Bidar; Bomb Squad, Canine Units Deployed
Bidar: A historic Gurudwara in Bidar, Karnataka, received a bomb threat email early Saturday, triggering an emergency response from security agencies. According to officials, the bomb detection and disposal squad (BDDS) along with canine units have been deployed to thoroughly scan the premises.
The email warning, which mentioned the possibility of an explosion, led to intensive security checks at the religious site. A similar threat had reportedly been received earlier as well, raising concerns over repeated hoax or malicious alerts.
