Overview
- Gujarat High Court, at least four district courts, and the Gandhinagar and Bharuch collectorates were evacuated after email threats, but searches found no explosives.
- Karnataka sites hit included the Dharwad bench of the High Court and district courts in Mysuru, Gadag, and Bagalkote, along with a Bengaluru passport office, with all locations cleared after checks.
- Police suspended proceedings during anti-sabotage sweeps that deployed bomb detection and disposal squads and sniffer dogs before restoring access once premises were declared safe.
- Several emails shared identical wording that warned of RDX and invoked groups such as the LTTE and ISKP, a pattern officials noted while cautioning that attribution in such messages can be deceptive.
- A drone recovered during checks at the Rajkot court was traced to a lawyer and carried no explosives, and a separate hoax email to the Chandigarh District Court a day earlier also prompted evacuations and searches.
