Panic swept through Jodhpur’s Rajasthan High Court bench Tuesday morning after an email threat promised to blow up the complex with bombs. In line with protocol, the entire area was evacuated, and a massive security drill kicked off without delay.
DCP Vineet Bansal’s team, backed by bomb disposal experts and search dogs, is methodically checking buildings, corridors, and grounds for any peril. Court sessions are on hold, with official posters informing of future restarts.
To fortify defenses, entry now demands valid photo IDs, while guards at every gate conduct rigorous scans. Suspicious movements are under strict watch, aiming to prevent any risks.
Not the first time: February 6 brought parallel threats to Jaipur and Jodhpur benches, leading to similar shutdowns. Multiple investigations are active, hunting digital trails from these persistent anonymous attacks.
The disruptions have lawyers fuming over backlog risks and citizens worried about access to justice. Authorities implore full support from all court affiliates. With threats recurring, the push intensifies for advanced threat detection and swift culprit apprehensions, safeguarding the pillars of law.
