Rajasthan High Court receives hoax bomb threat for second consecutive day

The Rajasthan High Court received a fresh bomb threat on Friday (February 20, 2026), hours before the scheduled arrival of the Chief Justice of India Surya Kant in the city, officials said.

Nothing suspicious was found, but the court proceedings were delayed due to the security exercise, they added.

The email, sent to the High Court administration, threatened to bomb up the court building, following which senior police officers were alerted and conducted a thorough search of the premises, police said. A similar threat was received on Thursday (February 19, 2026) as well.

The CJI is scheduled to inaugurate a seminar at the Rajasthan International Centre here on Friday (February 20) evening.
