Bomb Threat Email Triggers Security Alert at Udupi District Court
By ETF Desk
Early yesterday, court staff in Udupi received an anonymous email alleging a bomb was planted at the Udupi District Court. The threat prompted immediate lockdown of the courthouse and the deployment of additional police and bomb disposal personnel.
The Udupi District Court, a key judicial venue in Karnataka’s coastal district, has long been equipped with security protocols, but this incident caused temporary disruptions to court proceedings. Authorities conducted a thorough sweep of the premises, inspected the surrounding area, and coordinated with the local police department’s critical incident response unit.
Despite the scare, no injuries were reported and court sessions resumed within a few hours after the clearance. Police are still investigating the source of the email, and the court will review its communication channels to prevent future incidents. Source: Google News – Udupi.
