Ambala DC office receives hoax bomb threat
Security agencies were immediately alerted.
After a search, the threat turned out to be a hoax.
DC Ajay Tomar said that the mail was received on the official ID early morning that RDX-based IED has been placed at the premises but prima facie it appeared to be a hoax.
'Police teams, along with bomb disposal squad and other teams started a search operation before office was opened for employees. After a go-ahead by the police, it was proved to be a mere rumour. Police are investigating the source of the mail and will ensure strict action,' he said.
Earlier, similar threat mails were received at Fatehabad and Faridabad, but were also found to be hoax.

Rs 232 crore investment fraud busted in Telangana
Mule accounts helped accused cheat A case was registered on July 29, following which the police arrested Gaddam Venugopal, Director of AV Solutions and Srinivas Analytics, along with Shreyas Paul, an employee of AV Solutions. The fraudulent companies identified include IIT Capital Technologies, AV Solutions, Srinivas Analytics, and Trade Bulls Technology. They employed more than 20 consultants, agents, and technical developers across major cities and operated multiple websites. The fraud was carried out through proxy domain registrations with privacy shields to conceal ownership and hosting on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to obscure operator identities. Fake SEBI, NSE, and BSE registration numbers were used to project credibility, and investment seminars were organised in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. Police said the accused managed 21 mule bank accounts across ICICI, HDFC, Axis, Kotak Mahindra, and IndusInd banks, deploying layering techniques to camouflage fund flows. The illegal deposits were converted into real estate, gold, and luxury vehicles, while international laundering channels, including Dubai-based operations, were used. The accused also systematically deleted digital records, threatened victims who tried to complain, and shut down websites under regulatory scrutiny. A case has been registered and further investigation is on.
