New Delhi: In a fresh security scare, the Taj Palace Hotel in New Delhi received a bomb threat email on Saturday, prompting swift action by the Delhi Police.
Swift Police Response
Bomb disposal squads and security teams rushed to the hotel premises. Thorough checks are underway, though officials said details of the threat are still awaited. The source and authenticity of the email are under investigation.
Delhi High Court Threat Declared Hoax
The incident comes just a day after a similar bomb threat to the Delhi High Court triggered panic, leading to evacuation of judges, lawyers, and staff. Proceedings were temporarily suspended, but after a comprehensive sweep, the threat was declared a hoax. No explosives were found. Cyber teams are tracing the origin of the email.
CM Secretariat and MAMC Targeted Earlier
Earlier this week, threat emails were also received at the Delhi Chief Minister’s Secretariat and Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC). Emergency protocols, including bomb detection and fire tenders, were deployed. All sites were secured without incident, officials confirmed.
Growing Trend of Hoax Threats
Authorities noted that these threats are part of a wave of hoax emails targeting Delhi’s schools, courts, and public institutions. While most have turned out false, officials emphasize that every threat is treated with seriousness to ensure public safety.
Sniffer dogs, cyber experts, and anti-sabotage teams remain on alert as Delhi continues to face heightened security threats.
