Threatening Email Raises Security Concerns at Delhi Assembly

Security Alert Following Threatening Emails

A recent threatening email targeting the Delhi Assembly and the Speaker's office has heightened security concerns. This marks the second such incident in just two days. According to officials, the email warned of a potential bomb attack on the assembly premises. Just a day prior, a similar threat was directed at the assembly and Speaker Vijender Gupta. Authorities also confirmed that the nearby assembly metro station received a similar warning.

Details of the Threat

The emails were sent early Tuesday morning, arriving at the Speaker's office and the assembly's official email accounts within minutes of each other. The threatening message reportedly mentioned several prominent leaders, including Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, S. Jaishankar, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, and Lieutenant Governor Tarunjeet Sandhu. In response, security agencies deployed search dog units for a thorough investigation of the assembly area. Officials stated that efforts to trace the source of the email are ongoing.

Legislative Proceedings to Continue

Despite these threats, Deputy Speaker Mohan Singh Bisht assured that legislative activities would proceed as planned. He emphasized that while such threats should be taken seriously, they would not disrupt the functioning of the house. Several legislators dismissed the threat as mere rumors, asserting that adequate security measures are in place and there is no immediate cause for alarm.
