Hoax Bomb Threat Halts Sri Ganganagar Court Operations

Police probe a letter posted from Kolkata using cyber and postal forensics.

Overview

  • The district and sessions court in Sri Ganganagar was evacuated Wednesday after officials received an anonymous bomb threat by mail.
  • Police said the warning came in a letter posted from Kolkata that used an incorrect return address.
  • A bomb disposal squad and a dog squad from Bikaner searched courtrooms, chambers, and offices before declaring the threat a hoax.
  • Court proceedings resumed after the all-clear, while security teams tightened checks at gates and inside the complex.
  • Investigators are working with the Cyber Cell and the Postal Department to trace the sender, a step taken after a March 10 email threat to the local Passport Office also proved false.
