Last Wednesday, Delhi Police announced that the control room in North Block, where the Ministry of Home Affairs is located, had received a bomb threat email. This comes after several schools in Delhi-NC, Jaipur, Uttar Pradesh and Bengaluru were left in panic after receiving bomb threats via email.

The incident comes a day after Mumbai Police said it had received a threatening call about bombs being planted at the city's Taj Hotel and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Police searched the premises but found nothing suspicious.
