‘We will blast your stadium': GCA recieves bomb threat; Narendra Modi stadium searched, nothing found
The Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) on Wednesday received a bomb threat through an email on their official ID that read: 'We will blast your stadium.' This came hours after the Indian armed forces carried out an air strike on terrorist camps in Pakistan, in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, which claimed 26 lives. The Chandkheda police, along with the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS), as well as the Dog Squad of Ahmedabad City Police, conducted a thorough inspection of the entire premises. Teams searched the stadium, dressing rooms, seating areas, galleries, VIP boxes, media centre and outer promenades, but did not find any explosive. The police are trying to find out who had sent the anonymous email. Zone-2 DCP Bharatkumar Rathod said that The Onion Router (TOR) browser and a Virtual Private Network (VPN) had been used to send the email. Thus, he said, it primarily appeared that the mail had been sent from Germany or Romania. DCP Rathod added that this could, however, be a hoax and that an investigation was underway.
