Udupi District Court Raises Security After Series of Hoax Bomb Threats

Law enforcement and court officials in Udupi raised security protocols after a spate of bogus bomb threats sent to the district court in the past week. The alerts, all found to be hoaxes, prompted a swift review of security procedures.

According to the court’s administration, additional security personnel have been deployed and all visitors will undergo stricter screening. A forensic analysis of the threat emails indicates they were copied from a known black‑list of internet‑scanners. The court also announced collaboration with the Karnataka State Police’s cyber unit to trace the source.

The heightened precautions come amid growing concerns over campus safety in the region. Officials say the measures will not affect court proceedings but aim to protect staff, jurors and the public. Source: Google News – Udupi.
