A bomb threat email sent to Bihar’s Muzaffarpur Civil Court sparked widespread alarm, forcing authorities to empty the facility and initiate a bomb search protocol. The Wednesday scare halted all activities, prioritizing safety above all.
The anonymous communication detailed plans to demolish the court, received by administrators who promptly looped in the police. Response teams flooded the area, directing a mass exodus of advocates, clerks, and citizens in a bid to avert disaster.
With precision, anti-bomb experts and K9 units fanned out across the grounds, inspecting nooks and crannies. Perimeter controls were enforced rigorously, barring access while top brass, including the district SSP, directed efforts.
Eyewitness advocate Kamlesh Kumar shared details with the press: ‘Post-email, police ordered evacuation and summoned experts.’ No threats materialized yet, but forensic cyber analysis is racing to unmask the sender.
This breach exposes chinks in institutional safeguards, fueling debates on preempting email-based terror. Court operations are on ice, stranding parties in ongoing disputes. Law enforcement remains vigilant, committed to resolving the threat and fortifying future protections.
Broader implications loom for judicial security nationwide, as similar incidents test response capabilities. The public watches anxiously for updates, hoping for a quick restoration of normalcy.
