Ambala DC office receives hoax bomb threat
Panic gripped the Ambala deputy commissioner (DC) office on Wednesday after an e-mail regarding a bomb at the premises was received on the official ID of the DC.
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.

Mohali court remands YouTuber Jasbir Singh to 2 days of police custody. What are the charges against him?
Three days after being arrested on espionage charges, a Mohali court on Saturday remanded YouTuber Jasbir Singh to two days of police custody, reported ANI. According to the report, Jasbir Singh alias Jaan Mahal (41) is a resident of Village Mahlan in Rupnagar. He has been operating a YouTube channel "JaanMahal Video" with over 11 lakh subscribers and posting travel and cooking vlogs. Commenting on Jasbir's remand, his lawyer said, as quoted by ANI, "The police had asked for 7 days remand... We asked the police through the court what they did in 3 days. Today, he has been sent to a 2-day police remand." The police further alleged that Jasbir maintained close contact with Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra, who was earlier arrested for espionage. Also, Jasbir even maintained close relations with Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish, a Pakistani national and expelled Pakistan High Commission official, as alleged by the police. The Punjab Police's State Special Operation Cell (SSOC), SAS Nagar, on Wednesday arrested Jasbir Singh for spying for Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav said in an official statement. DGP Gaurav Yadav had said that Jasbir was found associated with Pakistani Intelligence Operative (PIO) Shakir alias Jutt Randhawa, which is a part of a terror-backed espionage network. The DGP further added that Jasbir maintained close contact with Haryana-based YouTuber Jyoti Malhotra and Ehsan-ur-Rahim alias Danish. Among other things, DGP Yadav said Jasbir attended the Pakistan National Day event in Delhi on Danish's invitation, where he met Pakistani Army officials and vloggers. The senior police official added the accused travelled to Pakistan on three occasions, including in 2020, 2021 and 2024, and came into direct contact with ISI officers. He was recruited then to carry out espionage activities within India. Concluding his statement, DGP Yadav said Jasbir attempted to erase all traces of his communications with these PIOs to avoid detection, following Jyoti Malhotra's arrest. Meanwhile, investigations are underway to dismantle the broader espionage-terror network. A report by NDTV stated that the ones who are currently facing espionage charges include 25-year-old Patiala's Khalsa College student Davendra Singh Dhillon, 24-year-old security guard in Haryana Nauman Ilahi, 28-year-old health worker from Gujarat Sahdev Singh Gohil, Arman and Tarif from Haryana, and Rajasthan government employee from Jaisalmer Shakur Khan. All the above mentioned people have been arrested on espionage charges and their links with Pakistan's ISI.

Left swipe on loyalty: Dating app clue in WPD aide killingPunjab Police seek details from Tinder in murder probe linked to Amritpal Singh.
Bathinda: Punjab Police are seeking details from dating app Tinder about an account connected allegedly to Khadoor Sahib's jailed MP and Waris Punjab De leader Amritpal Singh, in connection with the 2024 killing of his party aide Gurpreet Singh Hari Nau. Faridkot police, who lead the investigation, believe the Tinder profile — registered under the name Amrit Sandhu — may be tied to the radical, self-styled, separatist preacher imprisoned in Assam's Dibrugarh under the National Security Act. Hari Nau was shot on Oct 9 last year while returning from a village gurdwara on his motorcycle. Senior superintendent of police Pragya Jain has onfirmed that the Tinder account emerged during forensic examination of digital evidence. Police have requested Tinder formally to provide them with subscriber details, including the user's full name, date of birth, phone number, location history, IP logs dating back to Jan 1, 2019, as well as photographs, linked email addresses, contacts, and message records. The request was submitted in late May, but authorities claim to have received no response from the platform, so far. The investigation took a turn in Nov 2024 when police arrested Anmolpreet Singh and Navjot Singh, alleged operatives of Canadian-based gangster-turned-terrorist Arsh Dalla, who was named formally in the case, while Amritpal Singh was also added as a suspect on Jan 7 this year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?

Madhya Pradesh CM urges Amit Shah to order CBI probe into Indore woman's disappearance in Meghalaya
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday (June 7, 2025) requested Union Home Minister Amit Shah to order a CBI probe into the disappearance of an Indore-based woman in Meghalaya a fortnight back. The woman — Sonam Raghuvanshi (25) — went missing along with her husband Raja Raghuvanshi (29) on May 23, hours after they checked out of a homestay at Nongriat village in Meghalaya's East Khasi Hills district during their honeymoon. Also read | Those behind Indore tourist's murder will be brought to book: Meghalaya CM On June 2, Raja's body was found in a deep gorge near a waterfall in Sohra area, some 20 kilometres away from the homestay. However, the Meghalaya police, which registered a murder case after Raja's body was found, are yet to get any clues about Sonam's whereabouts. In a post on X, CM Yadav said, "Madhya Pradesh stands firmly with the family of Smt Sonam Raghuvanshi in this hour of crisis." "I have discussed the matter with the Chief Minister of Meghalaya. Senior police officials from Madhya Pradesh are in constant touch with authorities in Meghalaya. I have requested Hon'ble Union Home Minister Shri Amit Shah to order a CBI probe into the incident," he said. All possible efforts were being made to ensure the safe return of Sonam Raghuvanshi, the CM added. On Friday, the woman's family members urged the Union government to hand over the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) after expressing dissatisfaction with the probe of the north eastern State's police.
