Jaipur, Dec 5 (NationPress) A bomb threat directed at the Rajasthan High Court in Jaipur caused widespread alarm on Friday, leading to the evacuation of all personnel and the implementation of enhanced security protocols.

Upon receiving the alert, law enforcement and security teams quickly mobilized, establishing a heightened state of vigilance in the area. Teams from the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS), along with canine units, conducted thorough searches throughout courtrooms, parking lots, and surrounding regions.

As of now, no suspicious items have been found, but officials confirmed that the investigation and searches are ongoing.

Every individual accessing the court grounds is undergoing rigorous screening, and vehicles are subject to strict checks under the enhanced security measures.

Additional police units have been stationed around the premises. The High Court administration urged both staff and visitors to stay composed and cooperate with security measures.

Following the threat, judges, court personnel, attorneys, and visitors present in the building were safely evacuated. Authorities have made it clear that due to the gravity of the threat, no chances will be taken, and access to the campus will remain restricted until the situation is deemed secure.

This incident marks not the first time the Rajasthan High Court has faced such threats. On October 31, a similar threat was received via email, warning of a potential explosion.

During that instance, the building was also evacuated and searched meticulously, but no dangerous or suspicious items were located.

Just a day prior, on Thursday, a comparable bomb threat was reported concerning both the Ajmer District Court and the Passport Office via email. The message, sent to the Registrar's official email address, claimed: “Four RDX IEDs have been planted at Ajmer Kudankulam Power Plant, Registry Office, and the Dargah Sharif area of Garib Nawaz. The devices will detonate as soon as the English message is read.”

In response to the email, police teams and security personnel were placed on high alert. Metal detectors and dog units were deployed, and a significant search operation was initiated at both locations. Staff and visitors were evacuated as a precaution, and entry for devotees at the Dargah was temporarily suspended during the search.

Ajmer's Superintendent of Police, Deepak Sharma, confirmed the threat and the subsequent security measures. He indicated that a comprehensive search was conducted throughout the registry premises and the Dargah complex, encompassing rooms, offices, parking areas, and other sensitive locations.

The search operation lasted approximately one hour at the registry office and nearly two hours at the Dargah. No suspicious materials or explosive devices were found during the thorough inspections.

The recurrence of such threats has raised alarm among security forces and judicial authorities. The cybercrime unit of the police is currently working to trace the source of the recent email threat.

Officials have stated that the situation is being treated with utmost seriousness, and strict actions will be taken against those found responsible.
