High alert triggered in Delhi after threat call to blow up Red Fort, later proved to be a hoax
A high-security alert was activated in Delhi over the weekend following a threat call claiming that the iconic Red Fort would be bombed. The call was initially received by the Mumbai Police control room, which promptly shared the information with their counterparts in Delhi. In response, the North District Police launched a thorough security sweep and verification process. Fortunately, after an investigation, it was determined that the threat was a hoax. This incident is part of a troubling trend of hoax threats in India. Just a few months prior, a man from Ghaziabad was arrested for sending a false bomb threat email to the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). Following a detailed investigation, it was revealed that the individual was suffering from mental health issues. Similarly, a false bomb alert on a train in Lucknow caused panic among passengers, leading to extensive security checks that ultimately found no explosives. These incidents highlight the growing concern over hoax threats, which not only waste valuable resources but also create unnecessary fear among the public. Authorities are now focusing on tracing the origins of these calls to prevent future occurrences and ensure public safety.
