Overview

  • Email threats at 10:30 AM and 12:05 PM on May 31 triggered rapid evacuations by the Anti-Terrorism Squad and bomb squads at both hotels.
  • Minister of State for Home Jawahar Singh Bedham and two other Rajasthan ministers were attending a Holiday Inn event and were escorted out safely.
  • A thorough sweep by bomb and canine units at Holiday Inn found no explosives, leading police to declare the warning a hoax.
  • Security teams continue to comb the Raffles Hotel on Delhi Road, with searches ongoing and no suspicious devices uncovered to date.
  • Authorities link these incidents to a series of similar email-based threats this month targeting courts, stadiums and metro facilities and are investigating their origin.
