Overview

• The Gauhati High Court and Kerala High Court received emailed bomb threats on April 22, prompting extensive security responses at both locations.
• Police confirmed the threats were hoaxes after thorough searches found no suspicious items on the premises of either court.
• An unknown group calling itself the 'Madras Tigers' claimed responsibility for the Gauhati High Court threat, according to police reports.
• The Kerala High Court threat referenced RDX devices, leading to deployment of bomb disposal units and dog squads, with no evidence of explosives found.
• Investigations are underway in both Guwahati and Kochi to trace the origins of the emails, as India faces a broader rise in false bomb threats targeting public institutions.
