Overview
- Gujarat High Court, four district courts in Surat, Anand, Rajkot and Bharuch, and the collector offices in Gandhinagar and Bharuch received near-simultaneous threat emails, police and officials said.
- In Karnataka, the Dharwad Bench of the High Court and district courts in Mysuru, Gadag and Bagalkote were evacuated after similar emails, and Bengaluru’s passport offices were searched as a precaution.
- Bomb disposal and dog squads conducted exhaustive checks at all reported locations, court proceedings were temporarily paused in several complexes, and no suspicious objects were detected before access was restored.
- Some Gujarat emails referenced LTTE and ISKP and warned of RDX‑based suicide attacks, an unverified claim that elevated the security response despite searches yielding nothing.
- FIRs were registered and cyber cells with intelligence support began tracing email origins, with investigators noting a recent case where IP tracking led to an arrest, and a drone recovered in Rajkot was confirmed to belong to a lawyer and carried no explosives.
