Pattern of Hoax Threats
This incident follows a troubling series of similar threats directed at the Rajasthan High Court over the past few months.
In October and December 2025, both the Jodhpur and Jaipur seats received multiple threat emails. All previous threats were subsequently declared hoaxes after intensive search operations.
The recurring nature of these emails has caused disruption to the judicial system, leading to calls for stricter cybersecurity measures to trace the perpetrators.
Status Update: As of now, the search is ongoing. The High Court administration has requested all staff and visitors to remain calm and follow the security protocols.
