# Delhi bomb threats hit high court, airport day before I-Day 2026-08-14T08:15:34+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 4 independent outlets Delhi High Court and Terminal 3 of IGI Airport were among six locations that received bomb threats on August 14, a day before Independence Day. The threatening email, with the subject line '30 MB Blast at the Delhi High Court', said the blast would occur at 2.11 pm. The Delhi Fire Service said bomb threat calls also came for Jamnagar House, Jhandewalan Flatted Factory Complex, MB Saket Office/DM Office, and SDM Office in Delhi Cantonment. Fire tenders were dispatched to all locations. Delhi High Court Bar Association Joint Secretary Kunal Malhotra said the threat appeared to be fake, and that bomb squads and sniffer dogs were scanning the premises. Security has been tightened across the capital ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Independence Day address at the Red Fort. Earlier this month, the Delhi Mayor's Office and multiple schools also received similar bomb threats that turned out to be hoaxes. ## Coverage - ndtv.com - hindustantimes.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - freepressjournal.in Tags: bomb threat, Delhi High Court, Delhi Police, hoax threat, IGI Airport, Independence Day security Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/delhi-high-court-airport-get-bomb-threat-ahead-of-independence-day/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
