At least three lower courts in West Bengal and Jharkhand received bomb threats on Wednesday, prompting evacuation and search operations, officials said. District courts in West Bengal’s Asansol and Suri and the Dhanbad civil court in Jharkhand received bomb threats over email, the officials said.

On Tuesday, too, judicial activities were disrupted, as at least six courts across West Bengal received bomb threats, which eventually turned out to be hoax. “Police teams and bomb squads reached the court premises and search operations are still underway. So far, nothing suspicious has been recovered,” a senior police officer said.
