Two courts in Karnataka receive bomb threats, police launch probe
Dharwad/Mandya (Karnataka) (PTI): A bomb threat email was sent to the Karnataka High Court's Dharwad Bench and the district court in Mandya, prompting authorities to conduct extensive search operations on Monday, police said.

We are gathering more information about the remaining details. The message also contains references to different states, so we cannot share further information at this moment."
