AMRITSAR: Punjab Police on Friday claimed to have detained an unemployed software engineer for his alleged role in sending emails threatening bomb attacks on the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Commissioner of Police Gurpreet Bhullar said.
He told the media here that software engineer Shubham Dubey has been detained from Faridabad, and the investigation is at "an advanced stage".
Two FIRs have been registered in connection with the crime.
The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) had received multiple emails, warning of RDX blasts, prompting the deployment of heightened security.
