Bomb Threat in Delhi High Court: After the Delhi High Court, Bombay HC received bomb threat on on Friday, September 12. The evacuation is underway.
The Delhi High Court was evacuated after receiving a bomb threat through an e-mail, according to PTI. Judges rose for some time as precautionary measures were swiftly implemented. Delhi Police and security agencies immediately reached the spot, cordoned off the premises, and began thorough checks across the court complex. However, nothing suspicious was found in Delhi High Court after
Officials confirmed that all necessary safety protocols were activated, with staff, lawyers, and visitors moved out as a precaution. Authorities are investigating the source of the e-mail and have stepped up security around the court premises.
When asked by ANI, a Delhi HC lawyer said, “We were asked by the security officials to vacate the court…The court proceedings have been stopped…”
The authorities received a threatening e-mail warning of an explosion in a judge’s chamber. The threat, sent shortly before midday Islamic prayers, prompted swift security measures, including the deployment of a bomb detection and disposal squad, police said.
The message, purportedly sent from an ID under the name Kanimozhi Thevidiya, set out an alleged plot to detonate explosives inside the court premises “after mid-day Islamic prayers.” It linked the threat to Pakistan’s ISI cells in Coimbatore and invoked the memory of the 1998 serial blasts.
According to reports, the e-mail also made disturbing references to political violence. It claimed that “Udhayanidhi Stalin’s son will be acid burnt,” and suggested that attacks on prominent figures were part of a broader conspiracy to reshape political leadership in India. The author accused “pseudo-secularists” of corruption and alleged that planted assets within police forces would allow the plot to succeed.
The e-mail further contained instructions to contact a named individual for information on IED locations and “defusing codes.” It described the planned action as being deliberately timed for “this Holy Friday,” and insisted that a blast at the high court would “clear the doubt of previous blufs.”
Officials confirmed that the threat was being treated with utmost seriousness. While searches were ongoing, senior officers said preliminary investigation pointed towards a possible hoax, though no risks were being taken. Security across the court complex and surrounding areas has been tightened.
