Delhi HC, IGI airport, 3 govt offices get bomb threats ahead of Independence Day

Delhi witnessed a series of bomb threats on the eve of Independence Day, with five government locations receiving emails warning of an attack on August 15. The Delhi High Court, Terminal 3 of Indira Gandhi International Airport, and multiple offices in the national capital were targeted. Police swiftly declared the threats to be hoaxes after conducting comprehensive searches and security checks across all locations.

The threatening emails referenced the Red Fort and suggested the involvement of uniformed personnel, but authorities remain confident that the situation has been resolved. Heightened security measures are now in place across the capital as authorities keep a vigilant eye on key areas anticipating increased activity leading up to the national holiday.
