Overview
- The factory’s official email account received the threat late Monday warning of a “bomb blast” by 12 noon Tuesday and containing objectionable content, police said.
- Hours-long sweeps by bomb detection and disposal teams and dog squads, including units from Chhindwara and Bhopal, found nothing suspicious across the premises.
- Police registered a case at Pathrota police station and the cyber cell is working to identify the sender by tracking the email’s IP and origin.
- Senior officials, including Additional SP Abhishek Rajan, oversaw the operation after the management alerted authorities on Tuesday morning.
- This is the second such email to the facility in about eight months following an April 17 threat later deemed a hoax at the sensitive defence production unit.
