MUZAFFARPUR, Bihar – Chaos erupted at the Muzaffarpur Civil Court on Wednesday after an anonymous email threatened to blow up the entire premises. In a swift response, police evacuated the court complex, suspending all judicial proceedings and launching a thorough search operation.
The threatening message, received earlier in the day, prompted immediate action from court authorities who alerted local law enforcement. Within minutes, teams arrived on site, ushering out lawyers, staff, and visitors amid scenes of pandemonium. ‘We can’t take any chances with public safety,’ said a senior police official overseeing the operation.
Bomb disposal squads and canine units were rushed to the scene as officers combed every corner of the sprawling court campus. Entry points were sealed off, preventing any outsiders from entering, while the district’s Senior Superintendent of Police personally monitored the probe.
Advocate Kamlesh Kumar, speaking to reporters, recounted how the email alert triggered the rapid evacuation. ‘The administration acted decisively, informing the police right away,’ he noted. So far, no suspicious items have been found, but investigations into the email’s origin are underway with the cyber cell actively tracing the sender.
This incident underscores the rising menace of online threats targeting public institutions in India. As the search continues, normal court functions remain halted, leaving litigants in limbo. Authorities assure the public that every effort is being made to neutralize any potential risks and apprehend those behind the hoax or real danger.
The event has sparked concerns over security protocols at courts across Bihar, with calls for enhanced digital surveillance and rapid response mechanisms. Police vow to leave no stone unturned in identifying the perpetrator.
