A wave of panic swept through Delhi early Tuesday as bomb threats were received by four court complexes and two schools. The threats, which appeared to be linked to a terrorist group, prompted the immediate evacuation of the premises. According to police, the email threatening the bomb blasts was sent from an anonymous account with a suspicious ID. The message, which condemned the Indian government, named specific courts, including Patiala House, Saket, Rohini, and Tis Hazari, as well as two Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) schools in Dwarka and Prashant Vihar. While authorities scrambled to identify the sender, bomb detection and disposal squads were dispatched to the locations, and crime branch teams were deployed to investigate. As of now, nothing has been found. The incident comes just days after a blast near Delhi's Red Fort on November 10 left 11 people dead. The court work at Saket has been suspended for two hours due to the ongoing security checks.
