The threats were received from a Europe-based mailing service company 'beeble.com', newswire PTI reported.

The content of the letter read, "I have placed explosive devices inside your building. They will explode in the following hour. This isn't a threat, you have a few hours to disarm the bomb or else the blood of innocent people inside the building will be on your hands.

"The group called 'Court' is behind this massacre," the letter reads.
