The incident took place around 3:30 pm when an email containing the bomb threat was received at the high-security complex housing key ministries and offices. Responding swiftly to the potential danger, authorities dispatched two fire tenders from the Delhi Fire Service (DFS) to the spot, as reported by ANI.
“I was sent here following the (bomb threat) call. Probe is underway,” said fire official Prem Lal, confirming the seriousness of the situation and the proactive measures being taken to mitigate any risks.
According to PTI, a police officer revealed that the call to the DFS was made after an officer posted at the North Block received the threatening email. While the details of the email’s content remain undisclosed, it was deemed serious enough to warrant an immediate security response.
