Overview
- Security teams searched the complex Monday after identical emails to the Secretariat and Speaker warned of “15 cyanide gas-filled RDX bombs,” and they found nothing suspicious.
- The messages, written in Hindi, used inflammatory communal and political language, referenced the Tamil Nadu polls, named S V Shekhar, and demanded only Muslim staff be evacuated.
- Speaker Vijender Gupta wrote to Police Commissioner Satish Golcha seeking an urgent probe to identify the sender and stronger security, noting five threat emails in recent weeks.
- The latest emails followed an April 6 breach in which an SUV rammed Gate No. 2 and suspects were detained, and investigators are checking for any link between the breach and the threats.
- Rajasthan’s Assembly and courts received similar RDX hoax emails the same day, a pattern that forced large searches, unsettled staff, and redirected police and bomb squads for hours.
