A bomb threat sent to the Pune Municipal Corporation’s official email address triggered a security response at its headquarters in Shivajinagar on Wednesday, with the Pune Fire Brigade and Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad inspecting the premises as a precautionary measure.
According to a report by Punekar News, the email warned that a bomb had been planted at the civic body’s headquarters. The threat prompted emergency personnel to reach the municipal premises and begin security checks.
The Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad, along with Fire Brigade personnel, was present at the headquarters while the inspection was underway. The response was focused on checking the premises following the warning received by the PMC.
The report did not provide details about the identity of the sender, the specific wording of the email, or whether any suspicious object had been located during the inspection. It also did not state whether municipal operations or public access to the headquarters had been affected.
The incident places the security of a major civic administration facility at the centre of the response. The PMC headquarters houses the municipal body responsible for administering civic services in Pune, making the premises an important public and institutional location.
Further details about the threat and the outcome of the security checks were awaited at the time of the report. The next confirmed update is expected to establish whether the inspection found any suspicious material and what action authorities will take in response to the email.
