Delhi Fire Services officials have initiated search operations at both hospitals, with local police and Bomb Disposal Teams (BDT) combing through the premises. Despite thorough investigations, nothing suspicious has been found thus far, as confirmed by Delhi Police.

The situation has escalated with the circulation of a screenshot depicting the threatening email, fueling anxiety among the public on social media platforms. Law enforcement agencies are actively probing the origin and authenticity of the email to ensure the safety of the hospitals and their staff.

Adding to the tension, Indira Gandhi International Airport also received a bomb threat via email, prompting heightened security measures. Delhi Police and CISF personnel are on heightened alert following the reported threat.

While authorities have urged the public to remain calm, suspicions loom regarding the intentions behind these threats, with top intelligence sources suggesting a sinister motive aimed at instilling fear and panic.
