GUWAHATI: The Guwahati police were on their toes today with the Gauhati High Court receiving an e-mailed bomb threat that seemingly turned out to be a hoax. According to the police, in an e-mail, an unknown outfit – Madras Tigers – threatened to blow up the Gauhati High Court.
Guwahati Police immediately swung into action with full weights, including the bomb squad, to detect if any explosive device was planted in the High Court premises. Despite a thorough search in every nook and corner of the High Court premises, the police found no explosive device.
Now the police have been ascertaining the credentials of the e-mail.
The bomb threat came at a time when the legal fraternity in the high court has been in a state of serious disagreement on the issue of shifting the court.
