Bomb Threats Target Delhi High Court, Airport, and Other Sites Ahead of Independence Day
On August 14, multiple bomb threats were received via email and calls targeting key locations in Delhi, including the Delhi High Court, Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal 3, Red Fort, and several government offices. The threats referenced Khalistan and the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, warning of explosions on Independence Day. Security agencies responded with heightened vigilance, deploying bomb disposal squads, sniffer dogs, and conducting thorough searches. No suspicious items were found, and authorities declared the threats hoaxes while investigations continue ahead of the 80th Independence Day celebrations.
