Bomb Threat In KKR vs CSK IPL Match Triggers Security Alert

A major security scare unfolded during the high-profile Indian Premier League (IPL) match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at Eden Gardens on Wednesday after the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) received a bomb threat via email. The alarming message was found in CAB's official email inbox and originated from an unknown ID.

Confirming the development, CAB president Snehasish Ganguly said that the matter is being investigated and all necessary precautions have been taken. "The mail was detected from an unknown ID in CAB's official email during the match. The police are investigating the matter while security at Eden Gardens has been beefed up," Ganguly said.

The threat comes at a time of heightened national security concern following the recent Pahalgam terror attack. In response, India launched 'Operation Sindoor'.
