The Rajasthan Legislative Assembly on Monday received another bomb threat via email, just three days after it received a similar threat on April 24. People present in the Assembly building and premises have been evacuated.

Investigation and security agencies are on alert after the bomb threat was received, ANI reported.

The email warned that five “Silicon 100-base RDX” explosives had allegedly been planted inside the Assembly complex and would detonate around noon. It also cautioned authorities against ignoring the threat and called for the evacuation of VIPs, while making references to spyware and sensitive political information, news agency IANS reported.

Massive Security Response

Soon after the alert was flagged, Assembly officials informed the police, prompting a rapid deployment of security and emergency teams. Personnel from the state police, Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS), Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), Fire Department and SDRF reached the site and began a comprehensive search of the premises, IANS reported.

The entire complex was cleared as a precaution, with teams scanning different sections of the building. Fire tenders and emergency services were kept on standby during the operation.

Cyber Probe Underway

Officials said cyber experts are examining the origin of the email, tracking digital footprints and exploring possible links. This marks the third such threat targeting the Assembly in recent weeks. Previous alerts also led to searches, but no explosives or suspicious items were recovered.

The repeated threats have raised concerns within security agencies, leading to tighter vigilance and preparedness. The latest incident also coincided with the Rajasthan visit of Nitin Nabin, adding to the sensitivity, though no direct connection has been established.

Authorities have urged people to remain calm, assuring that all necessary precautions are in place. Investigations are ongoing to determine whether the threat was a hoax or part of a larger security risk.
