Panic ensued at the Deputy Commissioner's (DC) office in Ambala after an email was received on the official ID, claiming that a bomb was present on the premises. Security agencies quickly sprang into action. RPF Inspector Ravindra Singh confirmed that a bomb threat email had been received at the DC office. The Government Railway Police and Railway Protection Force initiated a search operation at the station. 'We are inspecting the waiting area to ensure that no suspicious items are found... everything is fine so far. It is our responsibility to ensure the station remains safe,' he stated.

Following the search, it was determined that the threat was merely a rumor. DC Ajay Tomar reported that an email had arrived early in the morning on the government ID, alleging that an RDX-based IED was placed on the premises, but it appeared to be a false alarm at first glance. He mentioned, 'Police teams, along with bomb disposal squads and other units, began the search operation before the office opened. After the police gave the all-clear, it was confirmed to be just a rumor. The police are investigating the source of the email and will ensure strict action is taken.'

Previously, similar threatening emails had been received in Fatehabad and Faridabad, which also turned out to be false. Additionally, the Punjab and Haryana High Court received a bomb threat email on Thursday, prompting the Chandigarh police to conduct a search of the court premises. Officials reported that most areas of the court had been evacuated, and public access was currently restricted.

Udaypal Singh, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) of Chandigarh, stated, 'The registrar's office of the High Court received an email claiming that an IED was planted in the premises. Upon receiving this information, the police launched an extensive search.' Officials noted that the DC's office in Ambala was also temporarily evacuated following the bomb threat, which was later confirmed to be a hoax.
