Panic struck Patna on Friday as a bomb threat was reported at the Bihar Assembly premises, leading to immediate security measures. The entire Assembly complex was put on high alert upon receipt of a threatening email. Teams from the Bomb Disposal Squad and Dog Squad were quickly deployed, and the premises were evacuated as a precaution.
A thorough search operation is currently ongoing at the complex, with officials from the Bihar Police closely monitoring the situation. Security has been heightened in the surrounding areas, and suspicious objects are under thorough examination. Authorities have not confirmed the discovery of any explosive materials yet.
The security cordon inside and outside the Assembly premises has been reinforced by the Patna administration. Stringent checks are being conducted on all individuals entering and exiting the complex, with CCTV footage being scrutinized to trace the source of the threat. Officials have assured a detailed investigation with all agencies cooperating and no aspect overlooked.
Cybersecurity officials have been tasked to collaborate with authorities in identifying the individual behind the threat.
