The Udupi district court received a hoax bomb threat for the fourth time this year, causing a brief disruption in its proceedings. According to police statements, the threat was communicated via a phone call that advised the courthouse to evacuate immediately.
Security officials confirmed that the court's emergency protocols were activated, and the building was secured while investigators traced the call. This incident follows three earlier false bomb alerts that prompted temporary court closures and heightened vigilance across the district.
The repeated nature of the hoax has raised concerns over public safety and the efficacy of the current security measures at judicial premises. Law enforcement is reviewing protocols to prevent future incidents and is urging citizens to report suspicious activity. Source: Google News – Udupi District.
