On Tuesday, a bomb threat email was sent to the regional office of Uttar Pradesh Tourism, claiming a danger to the iconic Taj Mahal. The authorities swiftly responded by deploying a bomb disposal squad, a dog squad, and other security personnel to thoroughly inspect the area. After an extensive search, no suspicious objects or threats were discovered, confirming that the email was a hoax.

ACP Sayed Areeb Ahmad, who oversees Taj Mahal's security, reassured the public that the situation had been thoroughly investigated. The email was immediately forwarded to the Agra Police and the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) Agra circle for further inquiry.

This incident highlights the swift and effective response by local authorities to ensure the safety and security of the monument, which remains a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a major tourist attraction.
