Several district courts across India received bomb threats via email on Thursday. This includes courts in Bihar, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh. The bomb threats caused widespread panic.

Bomb threats received by three district courts in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh
The Bilaspur and Rajnandgaon district courts in Chhattisgarh and the Rewa district court in Madhya Pradesh received threatening emails.

The investigation is also being conducted with the help of dog squads. Currently, there has been no official confirmation of any suspicious object being found in any of the courts.
According to police officials, the threat was made via email. The cyber cell is being used to identify the sender and their location. Initial investigations suggest it may be an attempt to spread rumors or create panic, although security agencies are not ruling out any possibility.

The cyber cell has also been engaged to investigate the technical aspects of the threatening email, including its origin and the IP address used.
