New Delhi was on edge this afternoon after a bomb threat email targeted the Taj Palace Hotel. The anonymous sender claimed that an explosive had been planted in the hotel and would detonate soon.
Alert hotel staff immediately informed the local police. Within minutes, bomb disposal teams and sniffer dogs reached the scene. Security personnel began intensive searches, checking suspicious baggage and isolating items for examination. Police assured guests and staff that safety remained their top priority as the search operation continued.
This threat came just a day after the Delhi High Court received a similar bomb threat via email. Hours later, another email threatened to demolish the historic Bombay High Court building in south Mumbai. In that case, bomb squads rushed to the site and declared the premises safe after thorough checks.
Authorities are now investigating whether these emails are connected. The repeated threats in Delhi and Mumbai have raised concerns about public security and misuse of digital communication. Officials are also working with cybercrime experts to trace the origins of the threatening messages.
