Ferozepur, September 12, 2026: Panic gripped the District Court Complex here this morning after a bomb threat was received on its official email, forcing the police to evacuate the premises and suspend public entry as security agencies carried out an extensive search.
The threat came on a day when the National Lok Adalat was scheduled to be held at the complex. Preparations had been completed, but the threat prompted the police to clear the premises as a precautionary measure. Court proceedings remained suspended till 11.30 am amid the security checks. Later the work had been resumed.
Soon after receiving the email, Dalbir Singh (SP), Barjinder Singh, DSP (D), Karan Sharma, DSP (Rural), and other senior police officials reached the spot. The dog squad and bomb disposal teams were also deputed to check the area. Police teams searched rooms, offices, corridors and other parts of the complex, but nothing suspicious had been found till the filing of this report.
SP Dalbir Singh said the entire complex had been thoroughly searched and no suspicious object had been found so far. He said the threat was being taken seriously and all aspects were being investigated. Technical teams were also working to trace the person who had sent the threatening email.
Notably, this was the fifth such threat to the court complex in around nine months. Earlier, threatening emails had been received on January 8, April 6, August 12 and August 26. The repeated threats have become a cause of concern for lawyers, judicial officials and visitors, besides disrupting court work.
