New Delhi: Multiple institutions, including the Delhi Secretariat, Delhi Assembly, Red Fort and two schools in the national capital, received bomb threats via email on Monday, which were later declared a “hoax”, officials said.
An official of the Delhi Fire Services confirmed that Delhi Secretariat, Delhi Army Public School in Dhaula Kuan and Air Force Bal Bharti School on Lodhi Road received bomb threats.
The threat emails were also received on the official ID of the Delhi Assembly and its Speaker at 8 am, reportedly from the Khalistan National Army, sources said.
The emails claimed a blast at the Delhi Army school at 1.11 pm, Vidhan Sabha at 3.11 pm and Red Fort at 9.11 am, they said.
After receiving the threatening emails, the administrations of both schools informed authorities in the morning, a senior police officer said.
“As a precautionary measure, the premises were evacuated, and thorough search operations are being carried out. However, after nothing suspicious was found, it was declared a hoax,” the officer said.
