NEW DELHI: The Delhi high court premises was evacuated on Friday after an email threat warned of a blast in the judge chamber shortly after midday Islamic prayers, prompting immediate security measures, including deployment of a bomb detection and disposal squad.The emailed warning — purportedly sent from the ID belonging to one Kanimozhi Thevidiya — named several individuals and organisations and set out an alleged plot to detonate explosives in the high court “after mid-day Islamic prayers.” The message claimed links between a man from the minority community, Pakistan’s ISI cells in Coimbatore and a plan to “recreate the 1998 blasts,” and it explicitly referred to an imminent device in the judge chamber.The email further alleged a broader conspiracy to target political heirs and suggested violent attacks on prominent figures, stating that “Udhayanidhi Stalin‘s son will be acid burnt.” It also named other individuals it said should lead a political takeover and included an instruction to contact a named person for purported IED locations and defusing codes.The writer of the email framed the alleged violence as part of a campaign to reshape political leadership, accusing “pseudo-secularists” of corruption and asserting that a blast at the Delhi high court would “clear the doubt of previous blufs.”The message used incendiary and conspiratorial language throughout, alleging planted assets within the police and referring to the planned action as timed “for this Holy Friday.”
