Terror via inbox struck again in Jharkhand, with Dhanbad Civil Court receiving an explosive threat email Wednesday morning. The sender claimed to have planted bombs, igniting pandemonium and forcing a complete shutdown of operations.
Word spread like wildfire. Court insiders notified superiors and cops pronto. Evacuation unfolded seamlessly: crowds of lawyers, cases in hand, streamed out alongside support staff. The cavalry arrived—police, canine units, disposal squads—to scour the grounds.
Gates bolted, the hunt was exhaustive. From jail blocks to advocacy suites, record vaults to open spaces, nothing escaped scrutiny. Late reports confirmed no devices, but vigilance persists.
Context reveals a pattern of escalation. February 12 brought a taunting threat to Ranchi Collectorate, promising evasive ‘sulfur nitrate’ blasts. February 6 menaced Ranchi proper. Hoaxes confirmed, disruptions real.
Cyber forensics teams dissect the threats’ tech signatures, chasing IPs and origins. Links between incidents are under lens, pointing to possible serial offenders. Statewide, security tightens around justice hubs, signaling a firm stance against those weaponizing the web to sow fear.
