Bomb threat triggers evacuation at Rajasthan court, turns out to be hoax

JAIPUR: (Mar 25) A bomb threat to the district and sessions court complex in Rajasthan's Sriganganagar triggered panic on Wednesday, prompting authorities to evacuate the premises and launch a search operation, officials said.

The threat later turned out to be a hoax after a bomb disposal team conducted a thorough inspection and declared the premises safe. Following this, court proceedings resumed, they added.

According to police, the threat was received through a letter sent by post from Kolkata, using an incorrect address, which put the district administration and security agencies on high alert.
