Jaipur’s Family Court on Thursday received a bomb threat, which created a lot of panic after an unknown person sent an email as a warning that the premises would be blown up by 2 PM. This threat was directed towards the Family Court located on the Tonk Road, calling for immediate action and evacuation with high-level security.
Immediately after receiving the threat, the bomb disposal squad and the dog squad were sent to the site. The Anti-Sabotage Team also reached the site and checked the whole place thoroughly. Due to the safety measure, the court building was evacuated immediately.
According to the information received, the threat wasn’t limited to just one location. Family courts situated in the Bani Park and Jyoti Nagar police station areas also received similar bomb threats. The alarming message, sent by an unknown person, led to widespread panic and concern across both court premises.
Police forces and the specialized squads arrived at both the Lal Kothi Family Court and the Bani Park Family Court to conduct inspections. Tight security was ensured around all these locations, and the standard protocols for bomb threats were followed.
Later, Additional Police Commissioner Kunwar Rashtradeep said that the threat was just a hoax call. After the thorough search of the court premises, no suspicious items were found. Despite the panic, the situation was handled, with no explosive materials or dangerous objects found.
The court was completely checked by the security team, and people were asked to continue with their normal routine. The police have not yet revealed further details about the sender or the origin of the email.
The incident has brought attention to the vulnerability of legal institutions and the importance of swift emergency response systems. While no physical harm was reported, the chaos caused by the false threat serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of anonymous intimidation tactics.
Authorities are still investigating the case, even though the threat was ultimately declared a hoax.
