Northeast Desk, 19th June: The bomb threat email received by the High Court of Meghalaya on June 18 was determined to be a hoax, identified as a spam mail according to media reports. Upon receiving the threat, Meghalaya police swiftly heightened security at the High Court and conducted thorough checks throughout the premises.
In response to the threat, a bomb disposal squad was deployed to ensure safety and prevent any potential incidents. The investigation into the origin of the spam mail is ongoing, with the cyber cell actively examining the details of the source.
