Sessions court evacuated after hoax bomb threat
Police said the threat was received on the court's official email ID. Following standard protocol, the court staff immediately alerted the police control room and senior officers. Multiple response teams—including local police, the bomb disposal squad (BDS), anti-sabotage team (AST), and quick reaction teams (QRTs)—were deployed to the site.
The court complex was cordoned off, and the premises were thoroughly searched using sniffer dogs and technical equipment.
The sweep began around 2pm and continued for several hours. While no explosives were found, the threat caused disruption to proceedings and panic in the area.
A senior police official said cyber experts are investigating the origin of the email and working to trace the sender.
Officials are also probing whether the threat is linked to a recent spate of hoax emails sent to other public institutions across Jaipur in recent months.

SC directs manual evaluation of NEET-UG aspirant's answer script
The Supreme Court on Tuesday directed the manual evaluation of the answer script of a NEET-UG 2025 aspirant, who alleged erroneous page sequencing in his question paper. A bench of Justices B V Nagarathna and K V Viswanathan ordered the result of evaluation to be placed on record. 'He (petitioner) will have the satisfaction of getting his papers manually checked,' the bench said. The aspirant claimed the wrong sequencing of pages in the NEET-UG question paper. The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) examination is conducted by the National Testing Agency for admissions to MBBS, BDS and AYUSH and other related courses in government and private institutions across the country. Additional Solicitor General Archana Pathak Dave, appearing for the respondents, put of a copy of the question paper on record to explain that the mistake arose due to incorrect stapling. 'However, in order to satisfy ourselves, we direct that the petitioner's paper shall be evaluated manually and the result of the evaluation be placed on the record. The said exercise shall be carried out within a period of one week,' the bench said. Dave said the stapling of the question paper was a manual exercise. 'The least that could be done is to give the questions in seriatim,' the bench said. It added, 'Look at the panic of the candidate. It is not an ordinary exam.' The law officer said only semi-skilled or semi-literate people were employed for the stapling work. 'If we give it to a literate person and if he staples it, we know for sure that one or two questions he can memorise and they can go out,' she said, calling it a 'rarest of rare' instance. The bench, however, remarked that '17-18 year old' students were dying by suicide. 'Please don't try to justify,' the top court said and posted the hearing for August 12.
