The Bombay High Court and other courts in the city were the subject of bomb threat emails on Friday, which were later identified as hoaxes. Officials reported that no suspicious items were found during searches.

Threat emails were sent to the Bombay High Court, a sessions court, and courts in Mazgaon and Bandra in the afternoon, prompting speedy responses from local police and specialized squads.

Despite the bomb threats being deemed non-credible, the police are set to register a case at the Azad Maidan police station, following similar false threats in the past.
