Bomb Threat Email Triggers Evacuation At Thane District Court
Maharashtra: A bomb threat email sent to the Thane District and Sessions Court on Monday, November 2, triggered a security alert, prompting authorities to evacuate the court complex and launch an extensive search operation.
According to the information available, the email warned that a bomb had been planted inside the court premises and would explode at 3.30 pm.
Following the alert, personnel from the Thane Nagar police station rushed to the newly built court complex at Court Naka and initiated emergency security measures.
Judges, advocates, court employees, and members of the public were evacuated from the building as a precaution.
Hundreds of people were reportedly present on the premises when the evacuation began. No injuries were reported in the incident.
The Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS), along with a specialised dog squad, was deployed to inspect the premises.
Security personnel began checking rooms and different sections of the court complex for any suspicious objects or explosive materials.
Heavy police deployment was also reported around the building as the search operation continued. Authorities were taking precautionary measures to ensure the safety of everyone in the area.
The incident comes amid reports of similar bomb threat emails received by district courts in Beed and Satara on the same day.

The threats prompted security checks and evacuation measures at the affected court premises.
Preliminary digital traces reportedly suggest that some of the threatening emails may have originated from Canada. However, the source and authenticity of the messages are yet to be established.
Cybercrime officials are investigating the emails to identify the sender and determine whether the threats are connected.
The search operation at the Thane court was underway at the time of reporting. Police have not yet confirmed whether any explosive material was found or declared the threat a hoax.
