Rajasthan HC gets bomb threat email

Jaipur's Rajasthan High Court evacuated after bomb threat email citing Tamil Nadu government and minor rape cases. Security forces conduct extensive search operation.

"The High Court has been completely evacuated. No one is being allowed inside at the moment - DCP Rajarshi Raj"

Jaipur, Oct 31

Panic spread across the Rajasthan High Court (Jaipur Bench) on Friday after the court received a bomb threat email containing serious allegations and political overtones.

According to officials, the email expressed anger over the Tamil Nadu government and rape cases involving minors, and warned that the court premises should be evacuated immediately or else be ready to face "serious consequences".

Following the alert, police and administrative teams swiftly evacuated judges, lawyers, and court staff from the building. Dog squads, bomb disposal units, and civil defence teams were deployed to conduct an extensive search of the premises.

"The High Court has been completely evacuated. No one is being allowed inside at the moment," said DCP Rajarshi Raj, adding that the fire brigade and bomb disposal teams are carrying out a room-to-room search.

He further stated that security and surveillance in the surrounding areas have been intensified.

A special cyber team has begun investigating the email's origin to trace the sender's IP address and determine whether the threat is credible.

A large crowd gathered outside the court following the incident, but police have cordoned off the area to maintain order.

This incident comes weeks after similar hoax bomb threats were emailed to several schools in Jaipur - including private school (Bhankrota), Springfield (Mansarovar), and a private school in Shivdaspura. Those threats were later found to be false alarms.

A few days back, panic spread at the Jaipur Sessions Court on Friday after it received an email threatening to bomb the court premises.

According to officials, the threat mail claimed that a bomb had been planted inside the court building.

The court administration immediately alerted the police control room, which in turn informed all concerned security agencies and directed them to rush to the spot.

DCP West Hanuman Prasad Meena confirmed that the email was received by the POCSO Court, located on the fourth floor of the Sessions Court complex.

"The court reader immediately informed the police, following which all teams arrived and the premises were evacuated as a precautionary measure," Meena said.

Bomb disposal squads, dog squads, and civil defence teams launched a comprehensive search operation to ensure safety.

Why are these threats becoming so common in Jaipur? First schools, now courts. The cyber team needs to work faster to track these criminals. Our judicial system deserves better security.

The mention of Tamil Nadu government and minor rape cases seems like someone trying to create regional tensions. We shouldn't fall for such divisive tactics. Justice system should remain impartial.

While I appreciate the swift action by authorities, I'm worried about the disruption to justice delivery. So many cases get delayed because of such incidents. The perpetrators should face strict punishment! ⚖️

This pattern of hoax threats is alarming. The cyber infrastructure needs upgrading to prevent such emails from being sent anonymously. Public safety cannot be compromised like this.

Respectfully, I think our security agencies need better coordination. Same thing happened at Sessions Court few days back. We need proactive measures rather than reactive responses every time.
