Cricket Association of Bengal Faces Bomb Threat Amid Pahalgam Tensions

Bomb Threat Received by CAB

In light of the recent Pahalgam attack and its repercussions, the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) has been targeted with bomb threats sent to their official email. This alarming incident coincided with India's launch of Operation Sindoor, a response to the tragic assault on Hindu tourists in Pahalgam.

The threatening email specifically mentioned plans to destroy Eden Gardens by detonating a bomb. Following the receipt of this threat, CAB promptly alerted the Kolkata Police. In response to the heightened tensions, the police acted swiftly to bolster security measures at the stadium, increasing the number of officers stationed at the venue's perimeter.

CAB President Snehashis Ganguly expressed his concerns regarding safety, particularly given the current cross-border situation. He stated,

"We did not want to take any risk. The police have been informed. They took whatever necessary steps."
