Someone sent an email saying there was a bomb at the Punjab and Haryana High Court, causing a scare.
The police and a bomb squad quickly came and told everyone to leave the building while they looked for anything dangerous.

Because of the search, court cases were stopped for a while, but everything went back to normal in the afternoon after the police said it was safe.
