The Gauhati High Court was the target of a bomb threat on Tuesday morning after an email warned of a potential explosion inside the court premises. According to police officials, the email was sent by a little-known group identifying itself as ‘Madras Tigers.’
Following the alert, security personnel and bomb squad teams rushed to the scene and began a thorough sweep of the entire complex. “Our teams are scanning every corner. So far, no suspicious object has been found. We believe it may be a hoax, but nothing can be confirmed until the search concludes,” said a senior police officer.
