The Delhi High Court has significantly bolstered its security protocols following the receipt of a bomb threat via email, which has put the judicial complex on high alert. The ominous message was received by the Registrar General of the High Court on Wednesday, instigating immediate action from the authorities.
The threat, allegedly from an individual identifying as Balvant Desai, was stark in its warning. “I will blow you up with a bomb on 15/02/2024. This will be the biggest blast. You may enhance your security as much as possible and call all the ministers. Everyone will be blown up,” the email ominously stated. The specificity of the threat, including the date, has added an acute sense of urgency to the matter.
In response, the High Court administration has taken the threat with utmost seriousness, leading to a comprehensive enhancement of security measures in and around the court’s premises. The complex, usually bustling with legal professionals, litigants, and the general public, is now under stringent surveillance, with increased checks and a heightened security presence.
