Multiple bomb threats at prominent Hyderabad sites &mdash; including the City Civil Courts, Raj Bhavan, Secunderabad Civil Court, and Gymkhana Club &mdash; triggered panic on Tuesday, prompting large-scale search operations.
The scare began after an email, reportedly claiming RDX-based IEDs were planted at the sites, was received by the City Civil Court. Chaos erupted as judges, lawyers, and visitors evacuated the premises. Court proceedings came to a halt.
Police teams, including bomb disposal squads and sniffer dog units, rushed to the sites. Searches were carried out at all four locations, including the Raj Bhavan &mdash; the Governor&rsquo;s residence &mdash; but no explosives were found during the operations.
At the Purani Haveli-based City Civil Court, which also houses the Deputy Commissioner of Police&rsquo;s office, officials combed both old and new blocks. Mirchowk ACP Venkateshwar Rao led the operation at the court, assisted by local police and senior officials.
The email, sent in the name of &ldquo;former students of Anna University,&rdquo; is under investigation. Cybercrime teams are now working to trace its origin and verify its authenticity.
While no suspicious material has been found so far, police remain on high alert and security has been tightened at all targeted locations.
