Hyderabad, Feb 20 (NationPress) The CBI Court located in Nampally received another bomb threat email on Friday, causing widespread panic.
The threatening email warned of potential explosions on a ‘Holy Friday’, prompting court officials to notify the police immediately. This led to the evacuation of the court premises and a thorough search operation.
Bomb disposal experts and canine units were deployed to meticulously search the complex.
The email claimed that ‘12 RDX bombs’ had been placed within the court, set to detonate at 12:05.
In response to the threat, authorities evacuated judges, staff, attorneys, and litigants from the building.
According to police, the search adhered to established protocols, but no suspicious items were discovered.
The police have initiated a case and are conducting further investigations.
This marks the second bomb threat received by the CBI Court in just three days.
Previously, a similar email had been sent on Wednesday, which was later determined to be a hoax after an extensive police search.
Additional bomb threats were reported at various courts in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, causing panic, yet no explosives were found during thorough investigations conducted by police with bomb disposal and canine units.
Threatening emails were directed not only to the CBI Court Nampally but also to district courts in Karimnagar and Rajahmundry in the neighboring Andhra Pradesh.
Law enforcement in both Karimnagar and Rajahmundry conducted extensive searches of the court locations, but no suspicious items were identified.
These bomb threats significantly disrupted court operations across the region. In response, police have heightened security measures at all court complexes.
Separate cases have been filed regarding the bomb threats, with investigators working to trace the origins of the emails, which are believed to have come from a common source.
