Bomb Threat At Jaipur’s ESIC Hospital

In another development, a bomb threat sent via email to Jaipur’s ESIC Hospital sparked a major security scare on Thursday, prompting a swift and coordinated response from multiple agencies.

The email, signed in the name of 26/11 terrorist Ajmal Kasab, went beyond the threat of violence, alleging a broader conspiracy involving fake passports issued to former LTTE members. The hospital administration immediately alerted authorities after receiving the mail.

Soon, teams from the local police, fire department, bomb disposal squad, civil defence, and cyber cell reached the hospital and conducted a thorough search. No suspicious items were found, and the operation was later called off.
