Delhi Assembly Gets RDX Bomb Threat Mail, Probe On

April 13, 2026

New Delhi, April 13: Panic gripped the national capital on Monday after the Delhi Assembly received a threatening email claiming a possible bomb attack inside the premises.

According to officials, two emails were written entirely in hindi, one to the official Assembly ID and another to Speaker Vijender Gupta. The message warned that the building would be blown up using “15 RDX bombs filled with cyanide gas” within hours.

The email also made references to the upcoming Tamil Nadu Assembly elections, adding a political angle to the threat. Investigators are examining whether the message was meant to create panic or has any real connection to ongoing political developments.

What Did the Threat Say?

The email, reportedly written in Hindi, contained alarming and controversial claims, including:

A warning of explosions inside the Assembly
Mention of Tamil Nadu polls (scheduled for April 23, 2026)
Communal remarks, which raised additional concerns among authorities

Immediate Action Taken

As soon as the threat was received:

Delhi Police and multiple security agencies rushed to the spot
Bomb squads and dog units carried out thorough checks of the premises
The area was secured to ensure safety of staff and officials

Officials said the situation was handled with utmost seriousness, especially since this comes shortly after a recent security breach at the Assembly.

Pattern of Similar Threats

This is not an isolated case. In recent weeks:

The Delhi Assembly and other institutions have received multiple hoax threat emails
Similar threats have targeted schools and government buildings, many of which turned out to be false alarms after investigation.
