Thane, Hingoli courts receive bomb threat emails; nothing suspicious found
The court authorities immediately informed the police, following which a police team, accompanied by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS), rushed to the spot and launched a thorough search
Thane and Hingoli district and sessions courts in Maharashtra received emails threatening bomb explosions on November 1, 2026, causing a security concern and prompting a police search. The Thane court building was evacuated in the afternoon after receiving a message about a bomb explosion at 3:30 pm. No suspicious items were discovered during the search conducted by personnel from Thane Nagar police station.
In Hingoli, an email was received upon the court's opening in the morning, warning about a possible explosion. The court's proceedings were momentarily halted following the threat, but have since resumed after receiving clearance. The police, along with the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS), conducted a comprehensive search in Hingoli as well, but found no evidence of any bombs or other dangerous materials. The Hingoli cybercrime unit is currently investigating the origin of the email, which may have been a hoax.
