On Tuesday afternoon, two courts in Uttar Pradesh were at the center of a bomb threat scare, causing significant disruptions. Authorities evacuated the premises, conducting extensive searches which lasted several hours.

The initial threat was reported when the district judge in Lucknow received a suspicious email, leading police to launch an intensive check. The Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad thoroughly scanned areas, including parking zones.

Similarly, Agra's civil court complex faced a bomb threat, temporarily halting proceedings until security agencies cleared the site. Despite no suspicious finds, officials state vigilance remains high as investigations continue to trace the email source.
