Mumbai Courts on High Alert After Bomb Threats

On Thursday morning, the Bandra magistrate court was evacuated and subjected to a comprehensive search after police received a bomb threat via email. Security forces, including the bomb detection and disposal squad, responded swiftly to the premises. After a diligent inspection, no suspicious objects were discovered, alleviating immediate concerns for public safety.

Mumbai Police have launched an active investigation to trace the origin of the threatening email, identify the sender, and determine the underlying motive. This incident is not isolated, as similar threat emails were concurrently received by the Bombay High Court and the Esplanade court in south Mumbai.

Security teams thoroughly inspected both the Bombay High Court and the Esplanade court premises. Fortunately, these searches also concluded without the discovery of any suspicious items. The investigation into the source of these widespread threats is ongoing.
