However, nothing as claimed in the email surfaced following the search operations by the officials and the iconic stadium saw a proper conclusion of the match with the MS Dhoni-led side trouncing the defending champions by 2 wickets.
CAB officials immediately contacted Kolkata Police, who beefed up the security at Eden Gardens and conducted thorough search operations at the stadium by their bomb-squad experts and sniffer dogs with specialised training in the detection of bombs and explosives.
However, as a matter of security, in the wake of the current situation amid Operation Sindoor crushing terrorist bases in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir, the security and surveillance at Eden Gardens have been beefed up.
Insiders from the city police said that the hoax bomb threat email landed in the official mail ID of CAB from an unknown email ID. Investigation has already started to locate the sender by tracking the IP address of the device from where it was sent.
