Bomb threat emails sent to courts in Thane, Hingoli, Pune and Beed; no suspicious items found

Courts in four Maharashtra districts – Thane, Hingoli, Pune and Beed – were alerted on Monday after receiving electronic messages that threatened bomb attacks. The emails, which appeared to be phishing attempts, prompted immediate lockdowns and thorough security sweeps at each location.

Law enforcement agencies, together with court security personnel, examined the premises for any explosive devices or related materials. Their investigations concluded that no suspicious items were discovered, and the threats were deemed unfounded.

Following the clearance, court operations resumed normal functioning. Police continue to trace the source of the emails and have urged the public to remain vigilant against similar cyber‑based threats.

The incident underscores the growing use of digital channels to convey terror threats, prompting authorities to reinforce cyber‑security protocols across judicial infrastructure.
