Bomb Hoax at Delhi High Court; Bomb Squad SWAT team at spot

The Delhi High Court was on Thursday put on high alert after the police received an anonymous call about a bomb threat on its premises, which later turned out to be a hoax.

The police, SWAT teams, fire tenders and bomb squad are at the spot.

The call was received by the control room from a man who claimed to have planted bombs inside the court complex.

The bomb squad was alerted and the entire court complex thoroughly scanned. However, the call was found to be a hoax, they said.

The police are on the lookout for the caller who has since switched off his phone.
