Amid the ongoing probe into the car explosion near Red Fort in Delhi, two schools and three courts in the national capital received bomb threats on Tuesday, prompting quick evacuation of their premises.
According to reports, an unidentified man called the Police Control Room (PCR) around 9 am and warned that bombs had been placed in the CRPF schools located in Prashant Vihar and Dwarka.
“We checked both the schools thoroughly, and nothing suspicious was found. It was declared a hoax," an official said.
Police are analysing call records and technical details to identify the caller and ascertain the motive behind the hoax threat.
It may be noted that a blast had occurred near the Prashant Vihar school last year.
Meanwhile, security has been intensified for Saket Court, Patiala House Court and Rohini Court in the national capital following a bomb scare.
Police officials, along with the Fire Department teams and bomb squads, searched the area, but nothing suspicious has been found so far.
"As per my information, there were bomb threat emails to District courts complexes in Delhi, today. The bomb threats turned out to be a hoax. Right now, there is no element of fear, and the courts are functioning in a smooth manner," New Delhi Bar Association Secretary Advocate Tarun Rana said.
