The Civil Court in Buxar faced a bomb threat via email, warning of 14 explosions set for 1.15 p.m., leading to the suspension of all judicial activities. This threat caused panic, resulting in the evacuation of the entire court complex as a precautionary measure. Officials confirmed that the email specified the presence of 14 bombs on the premises to be detonated at the mentioned time.
The alert triggered the safe evacuation of all lawyers, court staff, and litigants from the premises. In response to the threat, Sub-Divisional Officer (SDO) Avinash Kumar, Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) Gaurav Kumar Pandey, and Superintendent of Police (SP) Shubham Arya arrived at the scene with a significant police presence. The court complex was sealed off, and an extensive search operation, aided by the Bomb Squad, Dog Squad, and technical teams, was conducted.
While no explosives have been found yet, security agencies remain on high alert. District Bar Association General Secretary Bindeshwari Prasad Pandey collaborated with the administration to ensure a smooth evacuation but expressed serious concerns about court security. Advocates J. Saifi and Tej Pratap Singh highlighted past violent incidents within the court premises, emphasizing the need for enhanced security measures to prevent future occurrences.
The incident has reignited discussions on security readiness at judicial institutions. The district administration is actively working with cyber and technical teams to trace the source of the threatening email. Assurances have been given that those responsible will be identified and face legal consequences for their actions. The court complex continues to be closely monitored by the police to ensure the safety of all occupants.
