Bomb threat triggers security alert at Himachal high court

Police, accompanied by dog squads and bomb disposal units, conducted a comprehensive search of the complex. The authorities opted not to evacuate the building during the operation, which ultimately yielded no suspicious objects.

This is the fourth such threat in recent years after similar hoaxes were reported on June 17, 2024, and in April and June 2025.

The latest scare comes just a week after a January 1 explosion near the Nalagarh police station. The blast, which created a 2.5-ft crater, is currently under investigation by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) after pro-Khalistan groups Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and the Punjab Sovereignty Alliance (PSA) claimed responsibility online.
