Ahmedabad: In yet another series of bomb threats, eight Ahmedabad schools, Narendra Modi Stadium, and the mayor’s office at the AMC headquarters were targeted by emails on Tuesday, setting off anxious security checks and evacuation orders.The emails, purportedly sent in the name of the Khalistan National Army, threatened explosions at 1.11pm and claimed Punjabi singer Diljit Dosanjh would be killed in Ahmedabad, while actor Amitabh Bachchan would be targeted in Mumbai.The schools named in the threat were DPS Bopal, Narayan Guru School in Satellite, Podar International School in Chandkheda, Asia School in Thaltej, Divya Path School in Memnagar, Mount Carmel High School on Ashram Road, Vidya Bharati School in Satellite, and CN Vidyalaya in Ambawadi.Police, fire brigade personnel, bomb disposal squads, and canine units searched campuses. Ahmedabad district education officer Rohit Chaudhary instructed schools to immediately report the threats to police, ensure the safety of students, and assist the authorities during searches.Another email threatened a bomb attack during Dosanjh’s concert scheduled at Narendra Modi Stadium on Nov 21, warning parents against sending their children to the event.At AMC, a second email threatened to blow up not just the mayor’s office but the whole HQ. It took more than three hours to evacuate the office building and it took nearly five hours for the bomb squad to reach the spot.At Shri Narayan Guru School, a Gujarat University MA Semester 3 examination scheduled for 11am was delayed as students were initially barred from entering the campus. Around 750 examinees were allowed in after the bomb squad completed its search.An examinee said, “As we waited to enter the school, several police vehicles sped inside and cops began some inspection.” The examinee added, “We were told that the exam would be conducted at 1pm, but after the inspection ended at 12pm, we were told to enter.”The latest threat is the eighth in 11 months, with previous emails targeting schools, courts, Gujarat assembly, govt offices, metro stations and other public institutions across Ahmedabad and other cities in the state.An AMC source said, “A large number of employees remained on the premises even after the threats were received. The civic body’s lack of a proper emergency evacuation system for its own headquarters has been exposed.”A catalogue of menacing emailsOct 7: Ten Ahmedabad schools and Narendra Modi Stadium are targeted in threat emailsSept 10: Ahmedabad schools and Gandhinagar court receive bomb threatsMarch 18: Threat emails target Ahmedabad schools and Gujarat assemblyFeb 17: Courts in Vadodara, Mehsana, Valsad, Gandhinagar, Rajkot, and Ahmedabad receive threatsFeb 16: Around 40 schools in Ahmedabad and Vadodara receive bomb threatsJan 23: Sixteen Ahmedabad schools receive bomb threatsDec 17, 2025: Prominent schools in Union home minister Amit Shah’s Lok Sabha constituency get bomb threats
