Praja Bhavan receives a bomb threat? Deeds inside!
The Jyotirao Phule Praja Bhavan, currently serving as the official residence of Telangana Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu. Received a bomb threat call on Tuesday, May 28, in Hyderabad. Following the call, police and other security teams initiated thorough searches of the complex.
Previously known as Pragathi Bhavan, the complex was renamed by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on December 7, 2023, the day he took office. The new name, Praja Bhavan, translates to “people’s building,” reflecting a shift in focus towards the citizens of Telangana.

This incident occurred just hours after a similar bomb threat was reported on a Varanasi-bound IndiGo flight at Delhi airport. The threat led to the evacuation of all staff and 176 passengers aboard the aircraft. A comprehensive search of the plane revealed the threat to be a hoax. According to an IndiGo spokesperson, the passengers will be accommodated on another flight to Varanasi, which is expected to depart at 11 am.
The swift response to the bomb threat at the place underscores the heightened security measures in place to protect government officials and public properties. Authorities are taking no chances, ensuring the safety and security of all individuals involved. The investigation into the origin of the threat call is ongoing.
