Jaipur, August 18, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The Rajasthan Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) in Jaipur received a bomb threat on Tuesday, triggering a security alert and prompting police to launch an investigation into the source of the call.
The threatening call was received at the Jaipur Police Control Room, following which police and administrative authorities intensified security measures around the CMO.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Rajarshi Raj reached the location and reviewed the security arrangements. Police teams, including technical personnel, are examining call details and other available information to identify the caller and establish the origin of the threat.
Officials said the threat was being treated seriously and security teams were assessing whether there was any actual danger. Further details were awaited as the investigation continued.
The incident comes against the backdrop of several bomb threats received by prominent public and government establishments in Jaipur in recent years.
In July 2025, the Rajasthan CMO and Jaipur International Airport reportedly received bomb threats through emails. Security agencies, including bomb disposal teams, conducted searches at the locations but did not find any explosive devices.
Other locations targeted by similar threats have included schools, the airport, metro stations, court complexes and the Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
On May 30, 2025, a bomb threat was reported at Mansarovar Metro Station and the Metro Court-Family Court complex. The Sawai Mansingh Stadium also received multiple bomb threats that month.
Earlier in July 2025, Maheshwari Girls Public School in Vidhyadhar Nagar received a threatening email. The premises were evacuated and searched by security personnel, but no explosive device was recovered.
Police are now working to establish whether Tuesday’s threat to the CMO was genuine or a hoax. Security agencies have maintained heightened vigilance around the CMO and other sensitive locations in Jaipur.
