Hoax Bomb Threat at Udupi District Court Complex Promptly Dismissed

On Monday, police in Udupi received a bomb threat directed at the district court complex, prompting immediate lockdown procedures and a thorough inspection of the premises.

The anonymous call, transmitted as a voicemail, was directed to the police hotline, leading officers to convene a rapid‑response team to assess the threat and ensure the safety of court staff and visitors.

After a meticulous sweep of the complex and an extensive scan of all courtyards and surrounding areas, authorities found no explosive devices. The incident was later classified as a hoax, and the caller was traced to a source outside the court precincts.

While the threat was dismissed, the episode has highlighted the necessity for continued vigilance and enhanced security protocols at judicial establishments across Karnataka. Source: Google News – Udupi.
