Udupi District Court Complex Receives Hoax Bomb Threat
By ETF Desk
Police received a call reporting a bomb at the Udupi district court complex, leading to an immediate security alert and an overnight lockdown of the premises. The authorities opened a confidential investigation into the source of the threat and temporarily shut down court proceedings for the day.
The incident came at a time when the court was scheduled to handle several high-profile cases, raising concerns about potential disruption. The local police department released statements that the call was classified as a hoax, and the physical security perimeter remained in place until it could be verified that no unexploded device existed.
The district police bureau will continue to audit communications for threats in the area, while the court administration has reviewed its emergency protocols. No injuries were reported, and court operations resumed the following morning. Source: Google News – Udupi.
