After the inspection was over, police spotted six detonators in the court premises. The police were investigating where the phone call came from and who made it, Subedari Inspector of Police Ranjith said.

It is worth noting that it was the second bomb threat the court received in recent times.

On April 4, 2025 the court received a bomb threat through an email which was sent to the judge’s office warning that a bomb was planted in the court complex and would explode at any time.

After police teams, bomb disposal unit and a sniffer dog squad conducted a search at the court premises, the bomb threat was found to be a hoax.
