Overview
- Delhi’s Legislative Assembly was evacuated Wednesday after a pre-dawn email to the Speaker’s office claimed 16 RDX IEDs were planted to explode at 1:40 pm.
- The new message referenced Tamil Nadu politics and DMK-linked cases, following Tuesday’s threats that invoked a Khalistan referendum and named senior national and Delhi leaders.
- Bomb squads, dog teams and local police searched the Assembly and the nearby Vidhan Sabha Metro Station, and officers said no explosive device was found.
- Cyber units are using IP and email-header analysis to identify the sender, with reports citing a claimed Coimbatore link and a demand to withdraw CBI cases against V. Senthil Balaji and Jaffer Sadiq.
- Delhi has seen a run of emailed threats in recent weeks, prompting repeated sweeps at government sites and schools that disrupt staff, lawmakers and commuters even as most alerts are later declared hoaxes.
