Panic struck the District and Sessions Court in Udaipur, Rajasthan, on Monday following a bomb threat, leading to the evacuation of the entire premises and the initiation of a thorough security operation. The threat, received around 8:30 a.m., prompted immediate evacuation measures before the day’s proceedings could begin, with entry gates sealed and a security cordon established. Security forces, including the district police, Dog Squad, and Anti-Terrorism Squad, are conducting a detailed search of the court building to ensure safety.
Preliminary information indicates that the threat was communicated via email, prompting senior police officials to launch a technical investigation to trace the message’s origin and sender. Despite no discovery of any suspicious items yet, the search operation continues within the premises. The incident led to a gathering of lawyers and the public outside the court complex, causing temporary traffic disruptions around the Court Circle intersection.
As the security operation unfolds, authorities have urged citizens to remain calm and avoid spreading panic, assuring that all necessary precautions are in place and the situation is under control. Updates will be provided following a comprehensive sweep of the premises once the search operation concludes. Notably, this incident follows a recent bomb threat at the Rajasthan Legislative Assembly and previous threats at the High Court and sessions court building, all of which were later deemed hoaxes after thorough searches.
