PATNA: A tense situation prevailed on Thursday at the Muzaffarpur Civil Court complex after a bomb threat email triggered panic among lawyers, staff, and visitors.
According to officials, a suspicious email was sent to the District Judge’s official ID around 11.30 a.m., claiming that an explosive device had been planted within the court premises. Following this, the administration immediately swung into action, tightening security and evacuating the entire complex as a precaution.
Police and administrative teams quickly reached the spot, set up a security zone, and ensured that everyone was safely moved out of the premises. Judicial proceedings were suspended for the first half of the day amid the security alert.
Advocate Rajesh Kumar said that information regarding the suspension of court work was circulated through WhatsApp groups. Many lawyers found their offices locked, with clear instructions issued to vacate the campus.
