Six courts in Gujarat receive threats of being blown up with RDX
The Gujarat High Court and five local courts received threats of being blown up with RDX. A threatening email was sent to the official email address of the Surat court at 2 AM on Monday night. When employees checked the email in the morning, they informed the police.
Similar emails were received by the sessions courts in Anand, Rajkot, Ahmedabad, and Bharuch. However, the bomb squad's investigation did not find any suspicious objects in the courts. According to the police, the threat was made in the name of the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam).
The Ahmedabad Rural Court also received a threatening email on Monday. An unknown person sent an email to the court's email ID threatening to blow up the courtroom. Court proceedings were halted after the threatening email was received in the morning. However, no suspicious objects were found during the investigation.
Kashi Express evacuated at Mau in UP after bomb threat
A bomb threat was received on the Kashi Express (15018 Down) at Mau railway junction in Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday morning. The train was stopped at the station, and passengers were safely evacuated.
Mau SP Elamaran G said that a call was received at the police control room around 9:30 AM, claiming that there was a bomb on the train. He said that as soon as the train reached Mau station, passengers were safely evacuated, and every coach was thoroughly searched. No suspicious object has been found so far. The call appears to be a hoax. Our surveillance team is working to trace the source. During a routine check, passengers spotted a suspicious bag in one of the coaches and started shouting and running out in panic. Hearing the commotion, Station House Officer Anil Singh arrived. Without a thought for his own safety, he attached a broom to a stick and carefully dragged the suspicious bag outside. The inspector kept shouting to clear the crowd. However, when the bomb disposal squad searched the bag, they found nothing. The search operation lasted for about three hours. During this time, everyone at the station held their breath.
