Jaipur, February 18 A bomb threat email received by the Swami Keshvanand Institute of Technology, Management and Gramothan (SKIT) in the Jagatpura area here on Wednesday morning triggered panic, prompting authorities to evacuate the campus, police said.
Police teams, the fire brigade, and the bomb disposal squad rushed to the scene and conducted a thorough search of the premises until noon. No suspicious objects have been found so far, they said.
Police added that, prima facie, it appears to be a hoax, as similar emails have been sent to educational institutions in the past.
The email, received around 6:15 am by the principal, claimed that RDX-based explosive devices had been planted in the college, warning of an explosion at 11:45 am.
Following the alert, the college administration evacuated all hostels and offices, and students and staff were moved out, and searches were conducted on the campus.
Officials said efforts are underway to trace the sender and determine the origin of the email.
