A bomb threat emailed to the Chhattisgarh High Court led to a swift security response on Wednesday morning. The threat, received at 11:50 am, triggered immediate action from the police, who conducted a comprehensive search with the aid of bomb and dog squads.
Senior Superintendent of Police Rajnesh Singh reported that the threat message, warning of an imminent attack on the Bilaspur-based court, necessitated evacuation as a precaution despite no suspicious items being found.
This incident follows a pattern of similar bomb threat hoaxes targeting district courts in Rajnandgaon, Ambikapur, and Jagdalpur, which have sparked heightened security measures and investigations across the region.
