GANDHINAGAR: Gujarat’s Director General of Police (DGP) Dr K.L.N. Rao visited the Legislative Assembly premises on Wednesday to personally oversee a high-alert security sweep following a bomb threat received by email.
The threat led to the temporary evacuation of legislators, staff and visitors and delayed the ongoing Budget session.
The anonymous email, which arrived shortly before the Assembly was due to convene at 9 a.m., claimed that a bomb had been planted within the complex, leading police to halt the session as a precaution and clear all personnel from the chamber and surrounding areas.
DGP Rao, accompanied by senior officers, inspected the Assembly premises and all entrances to ensure that security measures were in place.
