The ISKCON Temple in Tirupati, one of the city’s prominent spiritual landmarks, recently received its fourth bomb threat in just three days, sparking heightened security and concern among devotees and authorities. The latest threat, sent via email, mirrors a disturbing pattern of hoax threats that have gripped the temple since last week, prompting rapid action from local police to safeguard the temple and its surroundings.

Following these recurring threats, authorities have bolstered security at the ISKCON Temple to ensure the safety of visitors and staff. The temple premises and surrounding areas are being thoroughly monitored, with police personnel deployed around the clock. Bomb squads have been conducting regular checks to eliminate any potential risks, though all alerts so far have been confirmed as hoaxes.
ISKCON Temple Authorities Urge Calm Among Devotees
Temple authorities have appealed for calm among devotees and local residents, assuring them that all necessary precautions are in place. They have also requested public cooperation with the heightened security measures while expressing concern over the disruptions caused by the fake threats.
Investigation Underway to Identify Source of Threats
The police have launched an investigation to trace the origin of these hoax emails, with cybercrime experts actively analyzing the digital trail.

Previous Instances of Hoax Threats

Authorities are considering enhanced digital monitoring and swift penalties for those found guilty of issuing these threats, aiming to deter such incidents in the future.
