After the CMO received the threat, similar emails were sent to the AMC headquarters at Danapith in Ahmedabad and the RSS office.
The messages reportedly mentioned different timings for alleged blasts – 3.11 pm for the AMC office and 5.11 pm for the RSS office.
Authorities said the emails also included references to “Khalistan”, “Operation Blue Star”, and “Operation Woodrose”. Officials added that the messages came from different email IDs and are being examined as a serious security concern.

Following the threats, police teams, bomb disposal squads and dog squads were deployed at the locations. Security was strengthened around government offices, public institutions and other important areas in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.
As a precautionary measure, the AMC headquarters at Danapith was evacuated, following which security personnel carried out detailed searches inside and around the premises.
Senior police officials and cybercrime teams have started technical investigations to trace the origin of the emails, including the accounts and IP addresses linked to the messages.
State Minister Pravin Mali confirmed that authorities began investigating soon after the email reached the Chief Minister’s Office.
“Many such emails have been received. This appears to be the handiwork of certain people acting in collusion,” Mali said.
Speaking about the intent behind such threats, he added, “Some people cannot tolerate peace.”
Officials said the threats are being handled with caution, even though similar messages received earlier had later turned out to be hoaxes.
Authorities have appealed to citizens to avoid rumours and immediately inform police about any suspicious activity or objects. Security agencies said monitoring has been intensified as efforts continue to identify those responsible.
