On Friday, a bomb threat at Delhi High Court caused panic and forced authorities to evacuate the premises. The threat email claimed that three bombs were planted inside the court complex and demanded that everyone leave by 2 PM. However, the sender did not specify the exact locations of the explosives, making the response more challenging.
Delhi Police reacted swiftly and deployed the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad. The team immediately began scanning the area for explosives while the police cordoned off surrounding roads to ensure safety. Judges, lawyers, staff, and visitors were evacuated in an orderly manner, following safety protocols.
The threat email was sent by someone using the name “Kanimozhi Thevidiya.” It included strange political references and demanded a change in leadership. The message also called for “dedicated secularists” to be in power rather than what it described as “pseudo-secularists.”
Eyewitnesses reported that although people were frightened, they remained calm during the evacuation. Court activities came to a halt, which delayed important hearings and caused disruption for lawyers and litigants. Such interruptions add stress and financial burdens for those waiting for justice.
Police sources confirmed that bomb threats are treated with the highest seriousness under Indian law. Strict punishment, including imprisonment, awaits anyone proven guilty of making such threats. Authorities believe the political undertones of the email may point toward a larger motive.
The investigation is still underway, and police are working to trace the source of the email. The incident highlights the need for vigilance in public spaces. As probes continue, the bomb threat at Delhi High Court remains a stark reminder of the risks posed by hoax or real threats and the critical importance of maintaining public safety.
