"Upon learning about the threat from the court officials, local police, along with a dog squad, and the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad reached the spot and started scanning all the buildings in the high court premises without disturbing the proceedings," said Bhukan.

The police carried out a thorough check of the premises, including all the court buildings, chambers, as well as parked and incoming cars, he said.
