Delhi High Court Receives Bomb Threat via Email Day Before Independence Day

New Delhi: The Delhi High Court received a bomb threat via email on Friday, triggering a security alert in the national capital a day ahead of Independence Day.

The threat comes amid heightened security arrangements across Delhi ahead of August 15 celebrations, with security agencies on increased alert across key installations and public places.

According to the information available, the threat was communicated through an email to the Delhi High Court. Authorities have been alerted and security measures have been intensified following the message.

Bomb threat calls were received at five locations in Delhi, including Jama Nagar House and IGI Airport. Fire tenders were sent to all sites, but no suspicious items have been found so far.

The development has raised concerns as Delhi remains under heightened security ahead of Independence Day, when several sensitive and high-footfall locations across the national capital are being closely monitored.

The latest threat comes amid a series of bomb-threat incidents reported in and around Delhi in recent weeks. Multiple schools in the capital had also received bomb threats via email earlier this month, prompting evacuations and search operations by security agencies.

Authorities are now examining the contents and origin of the email to determine the credibility of the threat and identify those responsible.

Further details regarding any evacuation, search operation or findings by security agencies are awaited.
