The Delhi Assembly encountered another bomb threat via email, leading Speaker Vijender Gupta to urge Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha to address the issue permanently. The threatening email, received at 11:12 a.m., contained alarming claims about explosives within the Assembly premises. This incident follows a previous threat on March 25, where a hoax about 16 IEDs planted inside the Assembly was reported.
In response to the repeated threatening emails, Speaker Gupta wrote to the Delhi Police Chief, highlighting the ongoing security concerns. The emails mentioned plans to plant bombs in the Assembly building and carry out blasts within a specified time, causing fear among staff members. Stressing the importance of safeguarding the democratic institution, Gupta emphasized the need for urgent action to identify the email sources and enhance security measures.
The security situation at the Delhi Assembly faced another scare on April 6 when a man breached the high-security gates and escaped without challenge. Identified as Sarabjit Singh, he drove from Uttar Pradesh to Delhi, raising concerns about the Assembly’s vulnerability. Following an email bomb threat at the Delhi Secretariat on April 9, a search operation found no suspicious items, underscoring the ongoing security challenges faced by government institutions.
