Bomb Threat Emails Disrupt Multiple West Bengal Courts Amid Electoral Roll Revision

On February 24, 2026, multiple courts across West Bengal, including Kolkata, Asansol, Durgapur, Hooghly, and Murshidabad, received bomb threat emails amid the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Courts were evacuated and searched by police and bomb squads, but no explosives were found. Authorities suspect the threats to be hoaxes and have launched investigations to trace the source. The state government assured enhanced security for judicial officers involved in the SIR process.
