Several courts in Odisha, including the High Court and district courts in Cuttack, Sambalpur, and Deogarh, received anonymous bomb threat emails on Thursday. Authorities evacuated court premises, deploying bomb disposal and dog squads as a precautionary measure. Following thorough searches that found no explosives, judicial work resumed later in the day. Police have launched an investigation to trace the origin of the emails and ascertain the motive, while advising the public not to panic.
