Several hospitals in Jaipur received bomb threat emails on Sunday, prompting a swift response from law enforcement authorities.
According to the police, the emails claimed bombs had been planted under beds and inside bathrooms within the hospital facilities. As a result, bomb disposal squad teams were immediately dispatched to the hospitals.
'So far, four hospitals have confirmed receiving these threatening emails, and more may confirm as they continue to check their emails,' Jaipur Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph stated.
The email ominously warned of imminent danger: 'I placed the bomb in the hospital building. The bombs are hidden under hospital beds and inside bathrooms. Every person inside the hospital will be killed or will lose limbs. None of you will escape. You will end up in a pool of blood. You all deserve nothing but death. The terrorists 'Ching and Cultist' are behind this MASSACRE,' it read.
On Saturday, two malls in the National Capital Region had received similar email threats, which were subsequently proven to be hoaxes.
