Mumbai, June 18 -- A megistrate court located near Mahapalika Marg in south Mumbai received an email today threatening to blow it up with a bomb.

Following the alert, the entire court building was evacuated, and the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS) along with dog squads rushed to the spot and began a thorough search operation but nothing suspicious was found.
