Coimbatore receives multiple hoax bomb threats, BDDS conducts extensive search

Coimbatore courts and Madras High Court evacuated after anonymous bomb threat emails, part of a series of hoaxes targeting Indian judiciary buildings.

"Investigations are underway to trace the origin of the email and assess the credibility of the threat. - Madras High Court Police"

Coimbatore, September 22

An anonymous email was sent to the Principal District Judge claiming bombs had been planted in three locations: the Coimbatore court complex, Jawans Bhawan, and the Coimbatore Judiciary Academy. It was later turned out to be a hoax.

Upon receiving the information, the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) conducted an extensive search of the Coimbatore court complex, Jawans Bhawan, and the Coimbatore Judiciary Academy.

Coimbatore has seen multiple hoax bomb threats this month. This was the third such hoax call targeting various institutions, including the district collectorate, courts, and other public buildings.

Earlier, the Madras High Court also received an anonymous bomb threat email, prompting evacuation and searches; it was later deemed a hoax.

The Bombay and Delhi High Courts faced similar threats recently, all of which turned out to be hoaxes.

The Madras High Court on September 19 received a bomb threat email, according to officials. According to Madras High Court Police, an anonymous bomb threat email was sent to the Madras High Court on the court's official email ID this morning.

Upon receiving the information, police personnel and a bomb squad immediately rushed to the spot and began a thorough inspection of the premises and surrounding areas.

According to High Court police, investigations are underway to trace the origin of the email and assess the credibility of the threat.

Meanwhile, tension gripped the Madras High Court premises after an anonymous bomb threat mail.

The threat came within a week of bomb threats received by the High Courts of Bombay and Delhi, last Friday.

On September 12, the Bombay High Court and the Delhi High Court received bomb threat emails, leading to panic and disruption of the court proceedings. The threats were later called out to be hoaxes.

As a Coimbatore resident, I appreciate how quickly our police and BDDS respond every time. But these repeated hoaxes are creating unnecessary panic. The authorities should implement better email verification systems for official communications.

Why target courts specifically? This pattern across Bombay, Delhi, and now Madras High Courts suggests someone is trying to disrupt our judicial system. Cybersecurity needs to be strengthened immediately.

While I appreciate the security response, I'm concerned about the disruption to court proceedings. Many cases get delayed because of these hoaxes, affecting justice delivery. The punishment for such crimes should be severe.

My brother works near the court complex and they had to evacuate today. It's scary how easily someone can create panic with just an email. Hope the cyber crime cell traces the IP address quickly.

This coordinated targeting of high courts across India is alarming. It seems like a planned attempt to test our security responses. The agencies should work together to find the common source.
