Several hospitals across Rajasthan, including five in Jaipur, received email bomb threats on Sunday that were later debunked as hoaxes, according to police reports.

Bomb disposal squads were dispatched and thoroughly checked the premises but found nothing suspicious. The threatening emails claimed that bombs had been planted under hospital beds and inside bathrooms.

Authorities are tracing the sender's IP address with the help of cyber experts. The email ominously mentioned, 'The bombs are hidden under hospital beds and inside bathrooms. The terrorists 'Ching and Cultist' are behind this MASSACRE.'

This incident follows a recent pattern, with two malls in the National Capital Region receiving email bomb threats, and multiple schools in Delhi NCR experiencing similar hoax threats earlier this year.
