Nagpur, 22 Apr (HS):

Another bomb threat on Tuesday at the Nagpur High Court building raised

serious concern over the security of the judicial institutions. The threat was

received via email, following which Sadar Police was alerted. Earlier a similar

threat was received on March 24.

The court premises

were not vacated and the security personnel, Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad

with sniffer dogs, started the search operation inside the court building. No

suspicious object was found, and the threat turned out to be a hoax. The police are

tracing the source of the threat message.

The search operation

was smoothly carried out without pushing the panic button. Many of the lawyers

at the court could not notice search operation by the police.

A similar email was

received at the Aurangabad Bench of the Bombay High Court premises, which also turned out

to be a hoax.

The earlier threat

turned out to be a hoax. On the same day, a similar threat was received at the

Guwahati High Court.
