The Rajasthan High Court’s Jaipur bench faced another bomb threat, the ninth in four months. Following a threatening email, security agencies were alerted, leading to a search by a dog squad and bomb disposal team at the court premises. Despite no explosives being found, security procedures caused a half-hour delay in court proceedings.
The threat, occurring a day before Chief Justice of India Justice Surya Kant’s visit for a cyber security seminar, has raised concerns due to its timing. This incident is the second bomb threat within three days, adding to the disruptions faced by the court due to repeated threats. The first threat was received on October 31, 2025, with subsequent ones on various dates in December and February.
The challenges of tracing such threatening emails were highlighted by cyber law experts, who noted the use of VPNs by perpetrators to mask their identities. While tracking the origin of these emails is complex, authorities are actively investigating to identify the source. Security measures at the High Court have been strengthened in response to the ongoing threats.
