Udupi District Court Faces Third Hoax Bomb Threat in Recent Weeks

A hoax bomb threat was received by the Udupi district court for the third time in recent weeks, prompting heightened security protocols, including law‑enforcement presence at the courthouse and a complete evacuation of the premises during the alert.

This latest incident follows two previous alerts that strained the local police and judiciary, leading to repeated temporary closures of the court’s premises. Each time the threat was traced to a single individual or a group of pranksters, and authorities have been working to identify the perpetrators through surveillance footage and telephone records.

The repeated threats have disrupted the court’s schedule, causing delays in hearings and inconveniencing a large number of litigants and practitioners. Investigators are still tracing the origin of the calls and have urged anyone with information to come forward. Source: Google News – Udupi.
