Email Threat Forces Evacuation of Thane Court Complex

An active on-site search by bomb-disposal teams and a dog squad seeks to confirm the threat and identify the sender.

Overview

  • An email warned of a bomb set to explode at 3:30 pm and prompted an immediate evacuation of the Thane court building.
  • Personnel from Thane Nagar police led judges, advocates and court staff out of the complex to safety.
  • A dog squad and BDDS bomb-disposal teams carried out a systematic search of the premises and have not found any suspicious items so far.
  • Court operations were suspended while the search continues and authorities have not reported any arrests or the origin of the email.
  • The response follows standard bomb-threat procedure and is likely to cause hearing delays and tighter security reviews at the court pending the outcome of the investigation.
