Fresh Bomb Threats To Two Hotels In Tirupati Turn Out To Be Hoax

Tirupati: Two prominent hotels in Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, received fresh bomb threats on Saturday, according to reports. This comes after three hotels in the temple area of Tirupati district had received bomb threats via emails on Thursday evening.

Police and sniffer dogs conducted thorough searches at the hotels, reported the India Today. After the searches were conducted, it was found that the threat was a hoax.

According to reports, the fresh threat email mentioned about the arrest of alleged drug trafficking network kingpin Jaffer Sadiq by the Narcotics Control Bureau and the Enforcement Directorate.

“Evacuate premise and call BDSS(Disposal Squad) to defuse IEDs. Contact Mr. PV Kalyanasundaram of DMK Arivalayam and for a Pink Envelope we’ve sent him with videos of our story as well as DMK family involvement. Afzal Guru will be re-born! Al-Badr! Only the BDSS has left IEDs in school premises in the name of checking!,” the letter mentioned.

The police were probing to find the source of the threats.

The email said that “international pressure” had mounted due to the arrest of Jaffer Sadiq and that “such blats (sic) in schools are necessary to divert the attention away from M.K Stalin family’s involvement in the case.”

Three private hotels in Leela Mahal, Kapila Theertham and Alipiri areas had received threats through emails on Thursday evening.
