“Along with the staff of the ordnance factory, we conducted a thorough search on Thursday. Our BDDS teams continued the search operation on Friday also, but nothing has been found so far anywhere. A case has been lodged on the complaint by the ordnance factory management under Section 351(4) BNS and 66(F) and further investigations are underway,” Narmadapuram district’s additional SP Ashutosh Shukla said.Two months ago, two similar bomb threats had kept the MP police busy on February 18. While the Ballia-Lokmanya Tilak Terminus Kamayani Express train was stopped at Bina railway station in Sagar district and checked thoroughly following a phone call claiming that a bomb was planted in the long-distance train, an email about a bomb at a private school in Jabalpur district prompted the police to carry out a similar security check.A few weeks prior to it, a similar email had led to the evacuation of students from two prominent private schools in Indore, followed by extensive checking by the BDDS teams.A senior state police officer posted at the state PHQ in Bhopal said, “While the e-mail and telephonic threats so far have turned out to be hoaxes, the growing number of such threats are being closely monitored and investigated to find out a possible common link between them.”
