Bomb Threat Emails Trigger Evacuation at DU’s Ramjas and Miranda House, Alert Declared Hoax

New Delhi: Panic gripped two prominent colleges of the University of Delhi on Monday morning after bomb threat emails were reported at Ramjas College and Miranda House.

Authorities swiftly evacuated students and staff as a precaution while security agencies sealed off the campuses to carry out thorough inspections.

According to officials, the email warned of multiple explosive devices allegedly containing toxic gas, claiming they would detonate around midday. Acting promptly, teams from the bomb disposal squad, along with police personnel and sniffer dogs, carried out detailed searches across both institutions.

After an extensive sweep, no explosives or suspicious materials were discovered, leading authorities to classify the threat as a hoax.

This incident comes amid a series of similar threats reported in recent days. Just last week, a warning message was sent to a civic office in Delhi, which also turned out to be false but led to heightened security measures.

On the same day, multiple schools and government buildings in Punjab and Chandigarh also received threatening emails, prompting evacuations and search operations.

Investigators have noted a surge in fake bomb threats across the country over the past year. Recently, police arrested a suspect accused of sending a large number of such messages targeting institutions, including courts, schools, and government offices.

Officials say these incidents not only create panic but also disrupt normal functioning and strain security resources.

Police have assured that strict action will be taken against those responsible for such hoaxes. Meanwhile, vigilance has been increased across educational institutions and public offices to prevent similar scares in the future.
