The Delhi Secretariat received an email on Thursday alerting officials about a bomb threat. In response, a search operation was initiated, but no suspicious items have been discovered so far. The email specifically mentioned the presence of a bomb, leading Secretariat officials to inform the police immediately.
Police, fire brigade teams, a bomb squad, and a dog squad rushed to the scene following the threat. Despite the thorough search conducted, authorities have not found anything suspicious. The email also referenced ‘Khalistan,’ prompting ongoing investigations into its origin.
The recent security scare at the Delhi Assembly involved a man breaching a high-security gate earlier in the week. Identified as Sarabjit Singh, the man drove from Pilibhit to Chandigarh and then to Delhi, where he entered the Assembly premises through Gate No 2. Singh managed to evade capture initially but was later apprehended by the Delhi Police in North Delhi.
Singh was presented before a Delhi court, which remanded him to eight days of police custody. The police are delving into a possible conspiracy surrounding Singh’s actions, including his unauthorized entry into the Assembly. Authorities are also exploring potential terror-related angles in the case.
Investigations revealed that Singh, deemed mentally unstable, had allegedly disposed of his phone. Despite Singh’s mental health condition, the police sought custody to uncover more details about his motives and any potential accomplices. Singh’s defense lawyer argued that his client, undergoing treatment for mental health issues, mistakenly entered the Assembly premises, believing it to be a gurdwara.
