Bomb Threat Email Causes Security Rush at Udupi District Court
By ETF Desk
A high‑profile email warning of a bomb inside the Udupi District Court prompted immediate security measures on Monday morning. Police and court staff evacuated the premises, sealing the hallways and initiating a sweep of the building.
The threat came after an earlier cyber report of a similar mail to a Karnataka court, prompting authorities to tighten security protocols nationwide. The Udupi Police Commissioner confirmed that the message contained no actionable information and that no explosives were found on the premises.
Although the court operations were briefly halted, no injuries were reported and the investigation is ongoing. The incident has raised concerns about cyber threats to judicial premises while reassuring the public that safety checks are robust.
