India, March 10 -- Panic gripped Ludhiana on Tuesday after at least 10 schools received bomb threat emails, prompting a security sweep across Punjab's commercial capital.

Following the alerts, Punjab Police teams, along with bomb disposal and dog squads, rushed to the institutions to launch search operations. As a precautionary measure, students were immediately evacuated, while security personnel scanned classrooms and surrounding areas.

Police officials said that the emails were sent from marammanoubi845@gmail.com, warning of explosions at schools and on trains at specific times. The message also contained threatening references and issued a deadline for migrant labourers to leave Punjab before Baisakhi on April 13.
