A total of eight hospitals including GTB Hospital, DDU Hospital, Bara Hindu Rao Hospital, Aruna Asaf Ali Hospital, Burari Hospital, Dada Dev Hospital, Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital and Janakpuri Super Speciality Hospital had received bomb threats on Sunday, the police said.

Besides, national capital’s—IGI airport had also received a bomb threat.

Earlier, over 130 schools across Delhi-NCR received identical emails, alleging the presence of bombs on their premises. The threats had led to widespread panic, resulting in immediate evacuations and thorough searches of the schools.
