Hoax bomb threats cause security alert in Jaipur courts, metro station
Jaipur: A fresh wave of hoax bomb threats rattled the city Friday morning, prompting police to launch a large-scale security operation at two court complexes and the city's metro station in Mansarovar.
The email, received at 4.49am Thursday, May 18, was addressed to court officials but remained unopened until Friday morning. When staff at the family court on Tonk Road checked their inboxes around 8.15am, they discovered the alarming message, purportedly sent by a man claiming to be a former Naxalite. The email warned of imminent blasts at the Tonk Road Family Court and the Metro Court in Bani Park. A threat mail for the metro station was also received.
Police responded swiftly, cordoning off all three locations and evacuating the premises as bomb detection and dog squads were deployed. The search operation at the family court lasted nearly four hours, while the metro court premises were declared safe after an hour-long inspection. No suspicious materials were found at any of the sites.
This is not the first time the Pink City faced such disruptive hoax threats. In the past month alone, multiple threatening emails surfaced.

On May 9, a threat targeted the city, citing "revenge" for the success of Operation Sindoor. On May 8, 12, and 13, police were called to investigate separate threats to blow up the Sawai Mansingh Stadium. One of the messages even linked the threat to a demand for justice in a sexual assault case.
Police said the cybercrime cell is tracking the origin of the latest email and probing whether the threats are part of a coordinated effort to spread fear. No arrests were made so far in any of these hoax mails, but security across public institutions remains heightened.
