Delhi witnessed heightened tension on Tuesday after multiple district courts — including Saket District Court, Patiala House Court and other court complexes across the city received bomb threats via e-mail. The alarming messages surfaced just days after a car packed with explosives blew up near a central Delhi metro station, deepening security concerns in the capital.
As soon as the threat alerts were detected, security teams moved swiftly to evacuate the affected court premises and cordon off the surrounding areas. Bomb disposal squads and dog units carried out extensive checks, while police increased deployment at all judicial complexes. Though no explosives were recovered, officials said the security grid would remain strengthened in view of the recent blast.
Around the same time, two CRPF-run schools also reported receiving similar e-mail threats. Emergency response teams inspected both campuses thoroughly and later confirmed the alerts to be hoaxes. Investigators noted that the caller’s phone was switched off soon after the threats, and technical analysis is underway to trace the origin.
