Hoax Bomb Threat Triggers Scare at Rajamahendravaram Courts
Rajahmundry: Bomb threat emails targeting courts in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh triggered panic and increased security measures on Wednesday. The warnings, which follow similar incidents reported earlier in Gujarat and Karnataka, have now spread to multiple judicial complexes in the Telugu states.
Earlier in Hyderabad, the CBI court in Nampally was discharged after receiving a fake email, while the Karimnagar District Court also reported a similar threat. In Andhra Pradesh, district courts in Rajamahendravaram received threatening emails, leading to provisional evictions and suspension of proceedings.
Bomb squads and search dog units were deployed to conduct in-depth sweeps of the complexes, while police tightened security and carried out systematic inspections. Senior officers supervised operations and ensured that all facilities were secured.
Authorities later confirmed that no explosives were found and that the emails were treated as fake threats.
Similar threats were made to courts in Anantapur, Chittoor and Eluru districts in January. After extensive checks, police teams concluded that no explosives were found and suspected the email was fake. This barrage of threats is part of a broader pattern; Similar emails have recently been reported in courts in Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Karnataka.
