Agra, December 3, 2024 — The Taj Mahal was briefly shut down following a bomb threat received via the Uttar Pradesh Police helpline. Authorities acted swiftly, evacuating tourists and deploying a bomb disposal team to search the iconic monument. After a thorough inspection, no explosives were found, and the threat was confirmed as a hoax.
The site reopened to visitors once security forces declared the area safe.
Law enforcement is now working to identify the individual responsible for the false alarm and prevent similar incidents in the future.
