Three district courts in Chhattisgarh get bomb threat
Last week, three district courts in Chhattisgarh's Rajnandgaon, Durg and Bilaspur received bomb threats via anonymous emails, officials said. After searching the three premises, police declared these as hoaxes as nothing suspicious was found, they said.
The threat message was received on the official email IDs of the Rajnandgaon, Durg and Bilaspur district courts, following which police were alerted, they said.
"An email, sent by an unidentified person, threatening a suicide attack using RDX-based improvised explosive devices (IEDs) was received at 10.07 am on the official email ID of Rajnandgaon court. The sender also warned that judges should be evacuated from the premises by 2.35 pm," a police official in Rajnandgaon said.
