CISF's Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad conducted comprehensive checks in line with standard security protocols."

Search ops launched at Rajasthan CMO, Jaipur Airport after bomb threat
Security agencies launched extensive search operations at the Rajasthan Chief Minister's Office (CMO) and Jaipur International Airport on Saturday after an email threat warned of bomb blasts at both locations, news agency PTI reported.
The threat mail, sent to the official email ID of Jaipur airport, claimed that both the airport and the CMO would be blown up within in hours, prompting swift action by police and other emergency services.
"The anti-bomb squad, police, fire brigade and civil defence teams were swiftly deployed at both the Chief Minister's Office and the airport. Additional police personnel were rushed to the state secretariat to strengthen security," a senior police officer said.
Bomb detection and disposal squads carried out a room-to-room search at the CMO, while similar checks were conducted at Jaipur Airport. No suspicious object was recovered from either site.
Saturday being a government holiday, only a limited number of officers and staff were present at the Chief Minister’s Office. They were immediately evacuated.
Search operations lasted for over an hour at both locations. Police said that efforts are ongoing to trace the origin of the threat email.
