Delhi High Court gets bomb threat via email; judges, lawyers vacate premises
Mangalore Today News Network
New Delhi, Sep 12, 2025: The Delhi High Court received a bomb threat on Friday, prompting high-alert measures and the evacuation of judges, lawyers, litigants, and staff from the premises as a precaution.
According to Delhi Police sources, the threat was sent via email claiming that three bombs had been planted in the court premises and demanding evacuation by 2 pm. The message, however, did not specify the exact locations of the explosives. A Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad was immediately deployed, and the area was cordoned off for a thorough search.
The email, purportedly sent from an account under the name Kanimozhi Thevidiya, contained incoherent political references and alleged that an individual had contacted Pakistan’s ISI to conspire in replicating the 1998 Patna blasts.
It said, "The basic funda is secular parties depend on allowing family dynasty politics and corruption to thrive in-order to fight BJP/RSS. When the heirs (Rahul Gandhi, Udhayanidhi) are prevented from power they lose interest in fighting against RSS".
The mail claimed that “Thus, to create a new evolution of Secular leader, the bottlenecks of the equation the heir apparent will be eliminated, so that the pseudo-secularists will leave and only dedicated secularists will come to party power."
The message further proposed that "Dr. Ezhilan Naganathan take over the DMK", and threatened that "Inbanidhi Udhayanidhi, son of Tamil Nadu minister Udhayanidhi Stalin", would be attacked with acid this week.
The email ominously said, "The assets within the Police have been sown since 2017, for this Holy Friday. As a sample, today’s blast in your Delhi High Court will clear the doubt of previous bluffs. Judge Chamber will detonate shortly after Mid-day Islamic Prayers".
It also claimed that “a smart and dynamic young Shia Muslim, Dr. Shah Faesal, has successfully made links with Pakistan’s ISI cells in Coimbatore to recreate the 1998 blasts today in Patna.” The mail even provided a contact name and phone number purportedly for accessing IED device locations and defusing codes.
The incident comes amid a spate of similar hoax threats targeting institutions across the National Capital Region in recent months. Authorities are investigating the origin of the email.
