According to officials, 200-year-old Kolkata’s iconic Indian Museum received an Email claiming that bombs were planted inside, prompting police to launch a search operation at the repository.
The museum is being searched and sanitized by members of the Kolkata Police bomb squad. According to the officials, public access inside the museum has also been suspended for the time being.
“The threat mail stated that several bombs were planted inside the Indian Museum, and those would explode any moment. A thorough search of the museum building is underway,” said a senior police officer, according to PTI.
In addition to the bomb squad, he said that a large number of police officers, sniffer dogs, and a quick response team (QRT) had been stationed inside and outside the central Kolkata building.
