Hoax bomb threat at Rajasthan’s Sriganganagar court triggers evacuation
Jaipur: A bomb threat to the district and sessions court complex in Rajasthan’s Sriganganagar triggered panic on Wednesday, prompting authorities to evacuate the premises and launch a search operation, officials told PTI.
The threat later turned out to be a hoax after a bomb disposal team conducted a thorough inspection and declared the premises safe. Following this, court proceedings resumed, they added.
According to police, the threat was received through a letter sent by post from Kolkata, using an incorrect address, which put the district administration and security agencies on high alert.
