Panic struck the Rewa district court in Madhya Pradesh when a bomb threat arrived via email, leading to immediate action by local authorities and police. The threatening email was directed to the Principal District Judge’s official mail, prompting the court administration to alert the district police headquarters. Superintendent of Police Vivek Singh, accompanied by senior officers, quickly responded by evacuating the court premises, including lawyers’ chambers, and relocating judges as a precaution.
The entire court complex was cordoned off by the police, who initiated a thorough search operation inside and outside the building. Dog squads and bomb disposal teams were deployed for further investigation. Superintendent of Police Rajiv Pathak mentioned that the bomb threat email was received by the Principal District Judge, triggering immediate police intervention. Despite extensive searches, no suspicious items have been discovered yet.
Authorities revealed that the threatening email was suspected to have originated from the southern region of India. The seriousness of the situation prompted the involvement of cyber police in tracking down the sender. While the search operation continues, no suspicious objects or devices have been found so far. The bustling marketplace location of the district court led to the closure of surrounding roads and a complete cordon off for public safety.
The Rewa district court’s recent inauguration of a new building coincided with the bomb threat incident, causing significant disruption in the area.
