Hours before Chief Minister Rekha Gupta’s scheduled budget presentation at 11:30 am on Tuesday, the Delhi Legislative Assembly received a bomb threat, official sources said.
The threat was received via an email to the assembly at 7:28 am, followed by another email sent to Speaker Vijender Gupta at 7:49 am.
Soon after the bomb threat, security forces rushed to the spot and began carrying out checks and launched an investigation.
“We have heightened security arrangements in and around the premises,” a police source said.
The email reportedly referred to several high-profile dignitaries, including Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta and Cabinet Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa.
Police and security agencies have launched a probe to trace the origin of the email, while thorough anti-sabotage checks are underway, the source added.
