Several Delhi hospitals including Deep Chand Bandhu Hospital, GTB Hospital, Dada Dev Hospital, Hedgewar Hospital among others received bomb threat emails on Tuesday. Bomb disposal squads along with personnel of the fire department and local police rushed to the spot and conducted searches. The Delhi Police have initiated an investigation to ascertain the origin of the emails.
Security has been stepped up in the four hospitals. On Sunday, the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport and over half a dozen government hospitals in the national capital received bomb threats through emails. Delhi police said that nothing suspicious was found.
Twenty hospitals, the IGI Airport and the Northern Railways’ CPRO office in Delhi received bomb threats through emails on Sunday, 11 days after similar messages to more than 150 schools in Delhi-NCR sparked a scare of unprecedented scale.
While threats to schools were received from a Russia-based mailing service, Sunday’s threats to hospitals and two other installations were received from a Europe-based mailing service company ‘beeble.com’, officials said.
According to a police officer, the e-mail was sent to one hospital with copies marked to others with the same content, an officer said. The officer said it was generated from sender id “[email protected]”, which is being verified and cyber officials are trying to locate the IP address.
