Udupi Court Enhances Security Following Hoax Bomb Threat Emails

In response to a surge of false bomb threat emails, the Udupi district court has instituted heightened security measures to safeguard judges, lawyers, and visitors. Police officers now patrol the premises throughout court hours, and additional electronic surveillance has been installed at key entry points.

The alerts, which warned of an improvised explosive device hidden within the courthouse, prompted the Karnataka State Police to deploy a rapid response team and to coordinate with the Udupi District Judicial Magistrate’s office. Despite the disruption, court proceedings continued as scheduled, with no cases postponed.

Security officials note that the hoax emails are part of a broader wave of misinformation targeting public institutions across the state. The court’s swift response underscores a commitment to maintaining public confidence in the judiciary. Source: Google News – Udupi.
