A bomb threat received via email on Thursday led to the evacuation of Vadodara District Court premises for security checks. The threat was directed at the court complex in the Diwalipura area, arriving shortly after the courts opened. Police closed entry gates, halted court proceedings, and conducted a thorough search operation with dog squads and the Bomb Disposal Squad.
Security measures were heightened as police checked buildings and surrounding areas for any suspicious items. Vadodara Police Commissioner Narasimha Komar confirmed that the threat, received in the morning, triggered an immediate search by police teams and specialized units. Extensive checks are ongoing, but no suspicious items have been found so far.
The email containing the threat was in Gujarati and mentioned political issues outside the state, including references to Tamil Nadu politics and DMK. Komar noted that the email address used this time is different from previous cases. The authorities are investigating the email’s origin while maintaining heightened security at the court complex.
Police revealed that a similar bomb threat was received by the court via email 15 days ago, which was later deemed a hoax after detailed searches found no explosive material. A fresh investigation has been initiated to trace the source of the latest email threat, with security checks at the court complex ongoing.
