Udupi, Jun 30: In the wake of multiple fake email threats targeting court premises, the district administration and police have decided to conduct thorough security checks at the courts every morning before court proceedings begin.

The decision was taken to ensure that any suspicious materials or objects are identified and cleared in advance, thereby avoiding unnecessary disruption to court functioning even if fresh threat emails are received.

Following discussions with the principal district and sessions judge (PDJ), it has also been decided to deploy additional security personnel and install door-frame metal detectors on a temporary basis, subject to the availability of manpower and resources.

Officials said efforts are also underway to trace the origin of the fake threat emails. Authorities are coordinating with police units in other districts and states, besides working closely with central agencies, as part of the investigation.
