An email received by officials in Gujarat claimed that RDX bombs had been planted in the cities of Ahmedabad and Surat, leading the state’s courts to activate emergency protocols. The message triggered an immediate response from the judiciary, which placed all court premises on high alert and coordinated with local police and the Gujarat Police’s anti-terrorism wing.
