This fresh bomb threat comes exactly a week after the Bombay high court had received a similar threat which was declared a hoax.

Overview

  • The court received an email about a blast on its official address early Friday in south Mumbai.
  • Bomb detection and dog squads searched the premises and found nothing suspicious, and hearings followed the regular schedule.
  • A similar email on September 12 halted proceedings for about two hours before the complex was cleared.
  • Delhi High Court received a hoax email the same day last week claiming three IEDs, prompting evacuation and a large security sweep.
  • Earlier this week Gujarat High Court reported a hoax threat, and over the weekend two Max Hospital branches and the Taj Palace hotel in Delhi received hoax emails, with police registering cases against unidentified senders.
