Jaipur, May 20
Rajasthan's administrative machinery went on high alert on Tuesday after collectorates in Sikar, Pali, Bhilwara and Dausa received email threats claiming explosives had been planted on their premises.
The threat reached Sikar Collectorate minutes before a scheduled meeting to be chaired by the Chief Secretary.
Officers evacuated the building and moved the meeting to the Police Lines auditorium.
Police, administrative officials and a bomb-detection squad are sweeping the complex, while security has been tightened across the district.
A similar email landed in the Pali District Collector's inbox, warning that a bomb would "blow up the premises".
Police immediately cleared the building and summoned bomb-disposal and dog squads from Jodhpur. The area remains cordoned off.
The Bhilwara Collectorate received the same type of threat. The administration evacuated staff, barred public entry and called in a bomb squad from Ajmer.
A high-alert order is now in place across the district.
In Dausa, Collector Devendra Kumar alerted Superintendent of Police Sagar Rana after his office got an identical email.
