Tirupati Bomb Threat: Tirupati police have heightened security across the city in response to intelligence alerts about possible terror threats targeting the temple town.

According to a News18 report, officials investigated two suspicious letters that allegedly contained bomb threats. Bomb squads were dispatched to assess the situation and secure the area, as the letters hinted at a plan to plant explosives at major public and religious sites in Tirupati.
