Four of Delhi’s busiest court complexes — Dwarka, Saket, Patiala House, and Rohini — along with the prestigious CRPF Public School in Sector-14 Dwarka and a CRPF facility in Prashant Vihar were plunged into high alert Tuesday morning when anonymous emails explicitly warned of powerful bombs planted inside the buildings, triggering immediate evacuations of thousands of judges, lawyers, litigants, CRPF personnel, teachers, and hundreds of schoolchildren in a matter of minutes.

The threats landed simultaneously between 7:30 AM and 9:15 AM, written in broken English and claiming that “multiple RDX devices” had already been concealed in courtrooms, corridors, washrooms, and even under school desks; at the CRPF school, terrified parents rushed to the gates as children as young as five were marched out in orderly lines while Delhi Police cordoned off the entire campus and diverted traffic across Dwarka sub-city.

Within an hour, over a dozen bomb detection and disposal squads, anti-sabotage check teams, NSG sniffer dogs, and robot units fanned out across the six locations, meticulously scanning every courtroom bench, filing cabinet, school bag, canteen table, and vehicle in the parking lots; lawyers in black coats stood helplessly outside Rohini court holding case files, while hearings worth hundreds of cases were abruptly cancelled, adding to the mounting backlog of an already overburdened judicial system.

Investigators suspect the latest wave is part of a sophisticated, possibly foreign-orchestrated hoax campaign using encrypted email services and VPN chains to evade tracing, similar to the hundreds of threats that paralysed airports, hospitals, and schools across India earlier this year; cyber cells from Delhi Police Special Cell and central agencies have seized server logs and are coordinating with international counterparts to unmask the perpetrators before the next strike.

By late afternoon, all six locations were declared completely safe after exhaustive searches yielded zero explosives, yet the psychological damage lingered; schools have announced mandatory bag checks and visitor registration, courts have doubled security personnel at every gate, and parents of CRPF school students are demanding permanent anti-bomb drill protocols, underscoring how a few lines of malicious email can still bring an entire capital to its knees in 2025.
