Bomb Threat Email Causes Security Alert at Udupi District Court

In the early hours of Monday, the Udupi District Court received an email claiming that a bomb had been planted on the premises. Acting on the threat, court officials immediately evacuated judges, staff and visitors, and called in police security to secure the building.

The anonymous email, which included a fabricated bomb diagram, was traced to a suspicious account by court IT personnel. Local police confirmed that no explosive device was found during a thorough search, and they are continuing to investigate the origin of the message.

The abrupt evacuation disrupted courtroom proceedings, causing several hearings to be postponed until the premises were cleared and safety inspections completed. While no injuries were reported, the incident underscores the growing concern over cyber threats to public institutions and the importance of robust security protocols.
