Jaipur: Panic gripped Jaipur after the Rajasthan Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) received a bomb threat on Tuesday, prompting police and administrative officials to step up security measures.
A threatening phone call was received at the Jaipur Police Control Room, following which Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Rajarshi Raj reached the spot and took stock of the situation.
Police teams have launched an investigation to identify the caller and ascertain the motive behind the threat. Technical teams are examining call details and other available information to trace its origin.
Officials are treating the threat seriously and checking whether it poses any actual security risk. Further details are awaited as the investigation continues.
Jaipur Has Received Similar Threats Earlier
This is not the first time that prominent locations in Jaipur have received bomb threats. In July 2025, the Chief Minister’s Office and Jaipur International Airport were reportedly threatened through emails.
Security agencies, including bomb disposal teams, searched the locations, but no explosives were found.
Several other places in Jaipur, including schools, the airport, metro stations, court complexes and the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, have also received similar threats in the past.
On May 30, 2025, a bomb threat was reported at Mansarovar Metro Station and the Metro Court-Family Court complex. The Sawai Mansingh Stadium also received multiple bomb threats in May 2025.
Earlier in July 2025, Maheshwari Girls Public School in Vidhyadhar Nagar received a threatening email. The premises were evacuated and thoroughly searched, but no explosive device was found.
Police are now working to establish the identity of the person behind Tuesday’s call and determine whether the threat was genuine or a hoax. Security agencies are maintaining heightened vigilance around the CMO and other sensitive locations in the city.
