Ahmedabad, September 5, 2026: A bomb threat email targeting the Gujarat High Court and courts in Ahmedabad and Surat has triggered a major security alert across the state. Security agencies were immediately mobilised after the threatening message was received, with multiple court premises being searched as a precautionary measure.
The threat comes amid a recent series of bomb-threat incidents targeting public institutions in Gujarat, prompting authorities to take such messages seriously and conduct detailed security checks.
Bomb Threat Email Sent to Gujarat High Court
According to reports, the Gujarat High Court received a non-specific bomb threat through email on Saturday. The threatening communication was initially received by the High Court Registrar and was subsequently shared with the Ahmedabad City Police.
The message reportedly warned of a possible explosion at a court in Ahmedabad and also referred to courts in Ahmedabad and Surat, leading authorities to expand security checks. Police and security agencies immediately began verification procedures to determine whether the threat had any substance.
Security Teams Conduct Searches at Court Premises
Following the threat, teams including the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) and Special Operations Group (SOG) were deployed at multiple court locations in Ahmedabad.
Police teams conducted detailed searches of court premises and surrounding areas as a precaution. Authorities also began investigating the source of the threatening email. The immediate priority for security agencies was to ensure the safety of judges, lawyers, court staff and members of the public present at the affected premises.
Ahmedabad and Surat Courts Under Security Watch
The reported threat has put Ahmedabad and Surat court complexes under heightened security surveillance. Gujarati media reports stated that the threat specifically mentioned blowing up courts in Ahmedabad and Surat, including the Gujarat High Court. Following the communication, authorities moved quickly to carry out security checks. Officials are treating the threat as a security matter while simultaneously investigating whether it was a hoax or part of a deliberate attempt to create panic.
No Suspicious Object Reported So Far in Gujarat High Court Bomb Threat
Initial searches conducted by security personnel have not resulted in the discovery of any suspicious object, according to reports available so far. However, security agencies are continuing their verification process and examining the contents and origin of the email before drawing any final conclusion.
Important: The absence of a suspicious object during an initial search does not by itself establish that the threat was a hoax. The investigation remains ongoing.
Police Investigating the Source of the Email
Ahmedabad Police have launched an investigation to identify the person or group responsible for sending the threatening communication. Investigators are expected to examine the email’s technical details and other available digital evidence to trace its origin. The objective is not only to assess the credibility of the current threat but also to determine whether it is connected to similar threats previously received by courts or other institutions.
Gujarat Has Seen Similar Court Threats
The latest incident comes against the backdrop of previous bomb-threat messages involving courts in Gujarat. In March 2026, threats targeting the Gujarat High Court and other courts had also led police and bomb squads to conduct searches. Those searches reportedly did not find suspicious objects.
More recently, Surat’s court premises have also faced bomb-threat incidents, resulting in security agencies being alerted and searches being conducted. The repeated incidents have increased the focus on security arrangements at judicial institutions across the state.
Breaking News Update
As of September 5, 2026, security checks are underway following the bomb threat email. No suspicious object has been reported in the initial searches, while police are investigating the origin of the threat.
