On April 7, 2026, Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH), located in Kukatpally, received a bomb threat email through its website. University authorities immediately alerted the Cyberabad Police, who responded swiftly by deploying a bomb disposal squad to the campus.

As a precaution, the premises were evacuated while the team carried out a thorough inspection. After an extensive search, officials confirmed that the threat was a hoax, with no explosives found on site.

Authorities have since initiated an investigation to identify the source of the email, including efforts to trace the IP address used to send the threat. The situation was handled promptly, and normalcy was restored on campus following the clearance.
