JAIPUR: Panic gripped the Sri Ganganagar Court campus following a threat to blow up the premises. An anonymous letter, sent via mail from a fictitious address in Kolkata, contained a warning that the court would be bombed, officials said.

On Wednesday morning, a bomb disposal squad from Bikaner arrived at the court, and security across the entire complex was significantly tightened.

A police contingent, including the Superintendent of Police (SP), also rushed to the scene. The dog squad and the bomb disposal team conducted a thorough search of every nook and cranny of the court premises.

The entire complex -- including the chambers in Blocks C and D, as well as the offices of judicial officers -- was meticulously inspected. Court proceedings were able to resume only after the bomb disposal squad gave the all-clear. The bomb disposal team conducted checks inside courtrooms as well.
