The unsettling events began when threatening phone calls were made to various hotels across the city, claiming that bombs had been planted. In response, local law enforcement conducted thorough sweeps of every hotel, confirming that the calls were false. However, this series of scares escalated when an anonymous email was sent to the Tirupati Airport Authority, stating that a bomb was allegedly planted on the premises.

Alarmed by this email, airport officials promptly lodged a complaint with the police, prompting the formation of specialized teams dedicated to tracking down the individual(s) responsible for these threats. In collaboration with the bomb squad and dog units, the authorities thoroughly checked temples, especially those along Katy Road, following another threat directed toward these places of worship.

In light of these repeated incidents, the District Collector has issued a mandate for regular inspections every two days in all hotels and public spaces across Tirupati. Security has been tightened, with added checkpoints on roads leading to Tirupati and the revered Tirumala.

While these threats have so far proven to be hoaxes, they have not been without impact. Devotees visiting the iconic Srivari Temple and the broader Tirupati area have expressed concerns over their safety, and many feel a heightened sense of fear and unease. Authorities, however, remain confident and have assured the public that they are making headway in identifying and apprehending the perpetrator(s) behind these distressing false alarms.

As the investigation continues, authorities urge the public to remain calm and cooperate with security protocols in place. With extensive security measures being implemented, the people of Tirupati can be assured that law enforcement is taking every precaution to protect the city’s peace and safety.

The emails, which arrived at the right time, caused alarm among the owners of major hotels including Regalia, Tirumala Bypass Pai Viceroy, Rinest, and Chennai Raj Park, located on Renigunta Road. Upon receiving the threats, hotel owners promptly notified the police, leading to swift action.

Mr. Yandi Srikanth Reddy, owner of Regalia Hotel, filed a complaint at the Tirupati East Police Station regarding the alarming messages received on the hotel’s email. Similarly, the owner of Rinest Hotel near Leela Mahal Junction also lodged a report, prompting a case to be registered at Alipiri Police Station.

Extensive Security Measures Implemented

In response to the threats, local police have conducted thorough inspections at the affected hotels. With the assistance of a bomb squad and dog teams, authorities carried out nuclear inspections that continued late into the night. The police evacuated parking areas, restaurants, and hotel rooms to ensure a comprehensive sweep for any potential threats.

Fortunately, after meticulous checks, law enforcement declared the threatening emails to be fake. However, the incident has raised questions about the motives behind these threats. Police officials suspect that the blast emails may be linked to a drug case that surfaced in Delhi six months ago, involving a Chennai film star who is a key suspect in the investigation.

Ongoing Investigations and Public Concern

The cyber team has been activated to trace the email addresses associated with the threats, as authorities work to determine whether these emails are part of a larger conspiracy. The swift dissemination of this news on social media has led to widespread concern in the city, with residents and visitors alike on high alert.

This incident follows closely on the heels of the recent adulteration case involving Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam laddu, keeping Tirupati in the news for various alarming reasons. As the city continues to grapple with these security concerns, local police are working diligently to ensure the safety and well-being of its residents and the millions of pilgrims who visit the sacred city.

Conclusion

The receipt of threatening emails from Pakistani ISI terrorists has certainly rattled the tranquil environment of Tirupati, a city known for its spirituality and pilgrimage. As investigations continue, both hotel owners and law enforcement remain vigilant to ensure the safety of all.
