- Senior district officials reached the Buxar complex with bomb squad, dog squad and technical teams, and no explosive devices were found.
- Patna civil court has faced repeated threats this week, including a phone call on Thursday described as the second in 24 hours and the third in 72 hours.
- Security has been tightened at Patna courts with restricted entry, and bar bodies have ordered mandatory ID cards and round-the-clock guarding of chambers.
- Police and anti-terror units say efforts to trace the origin of the emails and calls are active, and earlier threats in Patna were probed as hoaxes but treated seriously.
