Jaipur, Aug 18 (IANS) Panic gripped Jaipur after the Rajasthan Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) received a bomb threat on Tuesday.
A threatening phone call was received at the Jaipur Police Control Room, prompting police and administrative officials to step up security measures.
Soon after receiving the information, Deputy Commissioner of Police (South), Rajarshi Raj, reached the spot and took stock of the situation.
Police teams have launched an investigation to identify the caller and determine the motive behind the threat.
Technical teams are also examining the call details and other available information to trace its origin.
Police officials are treating the threat seriously and are checking whether it poses any actual security risk.
Further details are awaited as the investigation continues.
This is not the first time that prominent locations in Jaipur have received bomb threats.
In July 2025, both the Chief Minister’s Office and Jaipur International Airport were reportedly threatened through emails.
Security agencies, including bomb disposal teams, conducted searches at the locations, but no explosives were found.
Jaipur has also witnessed several similar threats targeting schools, the airport, metro stations, court complexes and the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
On May 30, 2025, a bomb threat was reported at Mansarovar Metro Station and the Metro Court-Family Court complex.
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium also received multiple bomb threats in May 2025.
Earlier in July 2025, Maheshwari Girls Public School in Vidhyadhar Nagar received a threatening email.
The school premises were evacuated and thoroughly searched by security teams. However, no explosive device was found.
The repeated threats have raised concerns over security in Jaipur, particularly as several high-profile government and public locations have been targeted in the past.
Police are now working to establish the identity of the person behind Tuesday’s call and determine whether the threat was genuine or a hoax.
Security agencies are maintaining heightened vigilance around the CMO and other sensitive locations in the city.
