Upon receiving information about the incident, police teams, the Bomb Disposal Squad, and the K9 Squad immediately arrived at the court premises.
Court Premises Evacuated, Security Increased
For security reasons, the court premises were completely evacuated, and judges, staff, and lawyers were moved to safe locations. A large number of police personnel were deployed, and an intensive search operation was launched within the premises. The bomb disposal squad inspected every room and corridor, focusing on identifying suspicious items.
Pakistan's ISI Named in Threat
The threat message also claimed that Pakistan's intelligence agency, ISI, was behind this entire conspiracy. Additionally, the threat warned against sending migrant laborers from Bihar to Tamil Nadu. Such messages have posed a serious challenge to the court and the local administration.

In January 2024, the Patna High Court also received a bomb threat, following which a high alert was issued, and security arrangements were tightened. Such incidents indicate that threats against courts and judicial institutions have been recurring.
Security of Judges and Staff Paramount
Officials stated that the security of judges, lawyers, and staff in the court premises is paramount. All courtrooms, lobbies, and parking areas are being searched. The canine unit has been specifically deployed to inspect suspicious packages, bags, and vehicles. Footage from CCTV cameras present in the court is also being examined.
The Patna police and local administration are closely monitoring the situation with full vigilance. A high alert has been issued across the city following the receipt of the threat email. Police officials and the municipal administration have appealed to the public to immediately report any unfamiliar suspicious objects and activities.
