The Delhi High Court received a bomb threat via email on Friday, a day before Independence Day.
The threat comes amid heightened security arrangements across the national capital ahead of the August 15 celebrations. Police and other security agencies have increased checks and surveillance at key locations as part of the security measures.
Authorities are examining the threat email and investigating its source to determine whether it poses a genuine risk. Security personnel have been placed on alert as the probe continues.
Security measures stepped up
The threat has raised security concerns at a time when Delhi is under increased security cover for Independence Day. Police and other security agencies have been carrying out enhanced checking and surveillance across the capital to prevent any possible security incident.
The authorities are expected to verify the contents and origin of the email as part of their response. Such threats are treated seriously even when there is no immediate indication that an explosive device has been planted.
Probe into threat email
Security agencies will investigate the source of the email and establish whether it poses a genuine threat or is a hoax. The contents of the message and other available digital evidence will be examined as part of the probe.
The Delhi High Court has faced similar bomb threat emails in the past, with security agencies following established protocols to search the premises and ensure the safety of judges, lawyers, court staff and visitors.
Further details about the threat and the security response are awaited as authorities continue their investigation.
