Security agencies conducted extensive searches of over 100 hospitals and malls in Delhi on Tuesday following bomb threat emails. However, officials confirmed it was a hoax, as nothing suspicious was found.
In recent months, similar bomb threats were sent to various institutions, including 150 schools in the Delhi-NCR area on May 1. Notable health facilities like AIIMS, Safdarjung, and Apollo Hospital were among the targets this week.
The Delhi Police's anti-terror unit, along with Bomb Detection Teams, responded promptly, ensuring public safety and conducting thorough searches. Authorities are now investigating the source of these threats, which appear to be the work of a single individual or group.
