Hoax Bomb-Threat Emails Evacuate Gurugram Courts and DC Office

Declared hoaxes after exhaustive searches, the warnings are now the subject of an active digital‑forensics investigation to trace the sender.

Overview

  • The anonymous emails hit official accounts on Friday and named specific attack times for a school, the DC office and courts, prompting immediate evacuations and security alerts.
  • Police deployed bomb disposal teams and dog squads to the District and Sessions Court, the Mini Secretariat and affected schools and conducted thorough searches that found no explosives.
  • Court operations at the Tower of Justice and nearby judicial buildings were suspended for the day while security teams cleared the premises and monitored visitor movement.
  • Authorities said the threats were declared hoaxes but investigators are analysing the emails and tracing IP addresses to identify the sender and verify any wider link to prior warnings.
  • The alerts follow similar hoax threats earlier in July and have forced repeated large security responses that disrupt court schedules, school activity and local government work.
