On December 18, 2025, multiple courts in Mumbai, including the Bombay High Court, received bomb threats through emails. Magistrate courts in Bandra, Andheri, and Esplanade were also targeted. The threats led to immediate evacuations and security checks. Bomb disposal squads and other security agencies thoroughly inspected all the premises. Mumbai Police confirmed that bomb threat messages were sent to several courts and banks across the city. After detailed inspections, all locations were declared safe, said the police. Proceedings at the Bombay High Court were temporarily stopped but expected to resume at 3 p.m. Once cleared, work continued as usual. An internal note from the Chief Justice instructed judges to stand up from their benches while the bomb disposal team completed their checks. This swift response ensured safety without lasting disruption.
