Three district courts and two schools in Delhi received bomb threats on Tuesday. Following the receipt of a bomb threat email at Saket Court, Patiala House Court, and Dwarka Court, the Delhi Police evacuated all the courts and launched an investigation.

Reports claim that the threat email was sent from an email address associated with Jaish-e-Mohammed. Following this, bomb squads are conducting investigations at all three court campuses.

It is noteworthy that the NIA is scheduled to present Jasir Bilal Wani, an accused in the Delhi Red Fort car bombing case, at Patiala House Court today. This email was sent just before 11 a.m.

Earlier, two CRPF schools also received bomb threats this morning. An unknown person called the police and claimed that explosives had been planted on the campus.

After receiving the calls at around 9 a.m., teams arrived at both locations and the schools were evacuated as a precaution.
