The registrar general of the Delhi High Court received an electronic message alleging a bomb device on the premises. The court’s joint secretary, Advocate Kunal, described the warning as likely false and confirmed that bomb-squad personnel and sniffer dogs are sweeping the building. He added that no explosive has been found and the situation is under control. Security measures have been intensified across Delhi in preparation for the upcoming Independence Day events.
