After Surat, it's now Kolkata's turn to be on edge after an e-mail threatening bomb blasts on prominent streets and landmarks in the city. Thorough searches late on Tuesday night did not lead to the recovery of any explosives. But police are not taking any chances.
Kolkata has been placed on high alert after an e-mail from the terrorist group ‘India Mujahideen" to a TV channel and other media houses warned of blasts at the Calcutta High Court and at a top private hospital.
As many as 70 per cent of vehicles disappeared from roads after an investigation search was launched. Police have detained Kaushik Bose, the son of a cyber cafe owner in Kolkata's upmarket Salt Lake area, and questioned him throughout on Tuesday July 29 night. Kaushik said he would help the police identify the people who had sent the threatening e-mail from the cyber cafe. The computer from which the e-mail was sent is in Kaushik's name. The cafe was operating illegally, said police. What was most mysterious about the mail was that it mentioned a car bomb and gave the registration number and type of vehicle.
