GUWAHATI, May 29: A bomb threat was received by Gauhati High Court on Thursday, which turned out to be a hoax, police said.
An officer of Guwahati Police told PTI that a mail landed at Gauhati High Court’s official email id in the morning threatening to carry out a blast in the building.
“We carried out a thorough search of the premises and found nothing. It was a hoax,” he added.
An official of the high court said there has been no hampering in the functioning of the court and different judges heard cases in a routine manner.
On April 22, a similar bomb hoax mail landed at Gauhati HC’s official email id. The threat had come from an unknown organisation, named ‘Madras Tigers’. (PTI)
