Bomb threat to BJP office in Coimbatore

A bomb threat has been received through an email to multiple locations, including the BJP office in the Coimbatore city of Tamil Nadu. The email claimed that petrol bombs would be hurled at multiple locations in the city. The email sent to the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) portal reportedly stated that petrol bombs would be hurled at multiple locations, including BJP offices. The Coimbatore City Police have now launched an investigation into the threat email. However, the Coimbatore City Commissioner called it a hoax email. “It is a hoax mail and police are investigating the mischief-maker,” the top cop told India Today. In October last year, a suicide bomber, Jamesha Mubeen, was killed when his vehicle laden with improvised explosive device (IED) exploded prematurely in front of the ancient Arulmigu Kottai Sangameshwarar Thirukovil temple at Eswaran Kovil Street, Ukkadam in Coimbatore.
