Lucknow civil court receives bomb threat

According to initial reports, the court received threat on two separate emails. The first email warned about a blast at 11.15 am, while the second said the explosion will take place at 12.15 pm. The police are conducting searches inside the court premises, and a bomb disposal squad (BDS) and a dog squad have also been deployed.

Apart from Lucknow, the civil court in Ayodhya has also received a bomb threat and security has also been tightened there.

This is the second time in just three days when a bomb threat has been received in Uttar Pradesh. On Saturday, courts in as many as 19 districts, including Lucknow, Ayodhya and Varanasi, received a bomb threat email. However, it turned out to be a hoax, as the security forces didn't find anything suspicious.
