Bomb threat email prompts security response at Udupi District Court

On Thursday, an anonymous email sent to the Udupi District Court raised concerns of a potential bomb threat, prompting an immediate security lockdown.

Acting on the warning, the court's on‑site security team unlocked the building after verifying the threat with the Karnataka Police. Court clerks and judges were escorted out to a safe area while investigators examined the credibility of the message.

No injuries were reported and the court was cleared after forensic analysis showed the email contained no actionable instructions, leading officials to label the threat a hoax. Proceedings resumed the following day, but the incident has heightened awareness of emergency protocols at judicial premises. Source: Google News – Udupi.
