Security agencies are on alert following bomb threats to Sawai Man Singh Stadium in Jaipur and Holkar Stadium in Indore. Holkar Stadium received a second threat in a span of four days on Monday. An email to the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) threatened to plant a bomb in the stadium.

The police and cybersecurity unit sprang into action and searched the stadium thoroughly, but did not find anything suspicious. The police are of the belief that the emails are sent via the dark web and hence are difficult to track. In the meantime, a threat to bomb Jaipur city's Sawai Man Singh Stadium was sent to the official ID of the Sports Council of the Rajasthan government.

It said that the stadium would be targeted after the success of Operation Sindoor. Police and the bomb squad evacuated the stadium and searched it, but no suspicious object was found. Similar threats have been received in Jaipur before, but nothing was found in the investigation. Police and cyber teams in both cities are trying to identify the senders of the emails. Security agencies are taking these threats seriously and are being cautious.
