A bomb threat email received by Vibgyor High School in Airoli, Navi Mumbai, has resulted in the evacuation of the school and heightened security alerts across the region. The email not only threatened the school but also mentioned Mumbai Mayor Ritu Tawde, singer Diljit Dosanjh, and actor Amitabh Bachchan as potential targets. Following the threat, students were sent home, and police conducted a thorough search of the premises to ensure safety.
The incident has raised significant security concerns, particularly around the mayor's office and Bachchan's residence, Jalsa, in Juhu. Authorities are treating the threats seriously and have initiated an investigation to trace the origin of the emails. The police have confirmed that they are actively working to identify the sender and assess the credibility of the threats.
The email specifically referenced Diljit Dosanjh's upcoming concert scheduled for November 27 at Mahalaxmi Racecourse, raising alarms about the safety of the event. This connection has prompted the authorities to enhance security measures in anticipation of the concert, ensuring the safety of attendees and performers alike.
In addition to the school threat, Mayor Ritu Tawde's office has reportedly received multiple threats, marking this as the third incident. A Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) has been deployed to conduct checks at the mayor's office following these alarming communications. The police are taking all necessary precautions to safeguard public officials and locations mentioned in the threats.
The emails claimed responsibility on behalf of two organizations, the Khalistan National Army and Babbar Khalsa, though these assertions have yet to be independently verified. Security agencies remain on high alert as investigations continue, with no suspicious objects found during initial checks at the school. The situation remains fluid as authorities work diligently to ensure public safety and uncover the source of these threats.
