Jaipur and Indore Cricket Stadiums Face Bomb Threats

Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], May 12: The heart of Jaipur shook with fear when the Sawai Mansingh Stadium received a shocking email. Sent directly to the Rajasthan State Sports Council, the message warned of a bomb inside the stadium. Police officers, bomb squads, and dog teams quickly reached the scene. Matches were paused, and everyone was safely evacuated. In a city famous for royal palaces and peaceful streets, such a threat created panic and silence. The stadium, a place known for roaring fans and flying cricket balls, became a zone of fear and flashing sirens in just minutes.

Another Stadium in Danger

Soon after the Jaipur incident, a similar email arrived at Indore's Holkar Stadium. The message warned of a bomb, just like the one received in Rajasthan. Without wasting time, the police cleared the area and started their checking operation. This stadium, where cricket legends have played historic matches, turned into a high-security spot. Just days before, the same stadium had received a similar threat. Authorities are now working to check if both emails came from the same source. Indore, known for its clean streets and strong sports culture, now finds itself under pressure.

Fear During Festive Cricket Times

Cricket in India is not just a game, it's an emotion. Fans from all ages gather to watch matches, wear team colours, and shout slogans of support. But these bomb threats have scared families and young fans who come to enjoy a peaceful match. Security teams are now more alert than ever. With IPL matches going on, any small doubt is taken seriously. These threats remind everyone that safety must come before excitement. This isn’t the first time cricket stadiums have received such threats – and sadly, it may not be the last.

Memories of Past Threats Return

Just last month, a similar scare shook Kolkata’s Eden Gardens during an IPL match. That email, too, caused panic and brought immediate police action. Eden Gardens, one of India’s oldest and most respected cricket stadiums, had to be checked thoroughly. Thankfully, no bomb was found, but the memory remains fresh in the minds of organisers and fans. Now, Jaipur and Indore find themselves in similar shoes. Fans recall the tense moments when loud cheers turned into fearful silence. For many, stadiums are places of childhood memories – not places of danger.

Authorities Stay Watchful for Future Matches

Police and sports officials are now working hard to find the person behind these threats. From email tracing to digital tracking, every tool is being used. Officers like Lalit Sharma and Jitendra Yadav have shared that investigations are active and full security is promised for upcoming matches. Teams are taking no chances. As India and Pakistan's tensions continue, every public place is under extra care. Still, fans hope to return soon to see sixes and wickets, not sirens and scanners. India’s love for cricket remains strong, even in times of fear.
