Panic arose at Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology, Management and Gramothan (SKIT) in Jagatpura, Jaipur, on Wednesday following a bomb threat received via email. The college administration swiftly evacuated students and staff from the campus as a precautionary measure. Police, fire brigade teams, and the bomb disposal squad conducted a thorough search operation across the campus in response to the threat.
According to officials, the email indicated the presence of explosive devices on the college premises and warned of a blast at a specific time. As a safety precaution, all buildings and sensitive areas of the campus are being meticulously inspected. Authorities mentioned that while no suspicious object has been found yet, the search operation continues to ensure complete safety.
The police cyber team is actively working to trace the origin and location of the threatening email. Despite suspicions that the threat could be a hoax, security agencies are taking the incident seriously and adhering to all safety protocols. Following the threat message, students and staff were evacuated near the college gate under the administration’s supervision to ensure their safety.
Officials reassured that the situation is under control, and further updates will be provided post the completion of the search operation. Stringent action will be taken against those responsible if the threat is confirmed to be false. In a separate incident, the Rajasthan High Court also received a bomb threat and was evacuated. Security agencies promptly secured the premises after the court administration received a threatening email warning of an explosion at the court complex.
As a precautionary step, lawyers, litigants, and staff were asked to vacate the courtrooms, although the threat was later determined to be a hoax. The Rajasthan High Court has encountered multiple bomb threats via email in recent months, all of which are currently under investigation.
