- Terror scare in campus
- Evacuation and high alert
Bhopal: Panic gripped the People’s University campus in Bhopal’s Nishatpura area after the administration received a chilling email threatening to blow up the institution. The sender claimed that “cyanide-poisoned bombs” had been planted across the premises, scheduled to detonate at 12:15 PM. Acting swiftly, authorities evacuated hundreds of students, faculty members, and medical staff, sealing off the entire building to ensure public safety.
= LTTE reference and investigative details
The threatening communication, which reportedly originated from Tamil Nadu, contained alarming references to the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam). The email instructed the administration to clear out all personnel by 11:00 AM and concluded with religious slogans. Given the gravity of the mentions involving a banned organization and chemical poisons, local police and high-level security agencies were immediately deployed to the site.
= Search operations and current status
A heavy police contingent, along with the Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) and Dog Squad, conducted an intensive, room-by-room sweep of the university and its adjoining hospital. After hours of rigorous searching, no explosive devices were found. While initial findings suggest the threat was a sophisticated hoax designed to create mass hysteria, the police are tracking the digital footprint of the email to identify the perpetrators behind this scare.
