Bombay High Court Receives Fresh Bomb‑Email Threat, Search Finds No Explosive

Madras High Court reported a similar email, with cyber teams working to trace the sender in a rolling hoax campaign.

Overview

  • Mumbai Police, the ATS, BDDS and dog squads swept the Bombay High Court after Friday’s email, and officials later declared the threat a hoax.
  • Authorities said the building was evacuated per standard procedures, though court business continued on schedule after checks found nothing suspicious.
  • It was the second threat to the Bombay High Court in about a week, following a September 12 scare that paused hearings for roughly two hours before being deemed a hoax.
  • High Court police in Chennai launched an investigation into an anonymous email to the Madras High Court, with searches and credibility assessment underway.
  • Recent hoax emails have also targeted the Delhi High Court, Gujarat High Court, Delhi’s Taj Palace hotel and Max Hospital branches, prompting evacuations and security sweeps without finds.
