Nagpur on Radioactive Alert After Threat Letter Targets RSS Offices, Metro Stations Nagpur has been placed on high alert following the discovery of an anonymous threat letter that claimed radioactive caesium-137 powder had been dispersed in RSS offices and key public locations, including Metro stations. The letter, which was sent through the General Post Office (GPO) and addressed directly to the police commissioner, also alleged that gelatin sticks and detonators had been left at a professor’s house in central Nagpur earlier this month. The sender claimed to represent an exploited and backward class, taunting authorities to contact the Tarapur nuclear plant for radiation checks and advising citizens to demand Prussian blue pills as an antidote. The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has deployed its specialized chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) unit to conduct extensive scans of RSS offices in Mahal, Mahametro stations, bus stands, and surrounding areas. Teams are using portable radiation detectors and collecting swipe samples from high-contact surfaces such as chairs and seats. State and central intelligence agencies, along with the State Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), have joined the investigation. Anti-sabotage checks are being carried out at sensitive locations, including the Hedgewar memorial at Reshimbagh and Metro trains on the Orange and Aqua lines near RSS and BJP offices. Senior police officials confirmed that the letter contains chilling details about radioactive contamination, including the alleged sprinkling of caesium-137 powder on chairs at RSS headquarters and offices in Mahal. A case has been registered under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Samhita and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).#nagpur #rss #national_disaster_response_force #tarapur_nuclear_plant #prussian_blue_pills
