It is the second time in less than a week that a bomb threat was received by a district court, earlier being on January 8, last, when such threats was received by district courts of Ropar, Anandpur Sahib, Ferozepur, Mansa and Moga, which had turned out to be hoax.
Also Watch:
It may also be recalled that some schools in Patiala and Jalandhar had also received mails of such threats last month and all these were found to be a hoax.
However, police said that while no suspicious object had been found so far from any of the said locations, the situation was still being monitored and cyber teams were working to reach source of the emails.
