Overview
- An email warning to "blast" Governor C V Ananda Bose triggered an immediate security overhaul and notification to the Union Home Ministry.
- State police and the CRPF are jointly managing reinforced Z‑plus protection, with roughly 60–70 central personnel and a midnight security review at Lok Bhavan.
- Police arrested a suspect from the Salt Lake/New Town area who allegedly sent threats by email and to the Raj Bhavan WhatsApp number, and questioning is underway.
- Despite the threat, the governor said he would not be deterred and walked through Kolkata’s Dacres Lane without his security detail while engaging with residents.
- The incident followed ED search operations at I‑PAC locations, adding to a charged political backdrop as investigators continue forensic tracing of the messages.
