Overview
- The Gujarat High Court, multiple district courts and two collectorates received emails referencing RDX, prompting evacuations and BDDS and dog-squad sweeps that found nothing suspicious, officials said.
- In Karnataka, the Dharwad bench of the High Court and district courts in Mysuru, Gadag and Bagalkot were cleared following threat emails, with police registering FIRs after searches found no explosives.
- Bengaluru’s Passport Seva Kendra also received a threat by email, leading to extensive checks that concluded with a false alarm and reinforced security at the site.
- Investigators said some messages invoked militant groups and warned of suicide bombs using RDX, though those claims remain unverified as cyber and intelligence teams work to trace the origin.
- The latest alerts extend a broader pattern seen this week, including a hoax at the Chandigarh District Court, as authorities maintain heightened security while treating each threat as credible until cleared.
