Delhi Courts and CRPF Schools Receive Hoax Bomb Threat (2025)

PTI, NEW DELHI, NOV 18, 2025 :  Multiple courts in Delhi — Saket, Dwarka and Patiala House — along with two CRPF-run schools, received bomb threats on Tuesday morning, prompting large-scale security checks across the national capital, officials said.

Police said an email sent in the name of a terror module claimed that explosives had been planted on court premises early morning. Several teams of bomb disposal squad, dog squad, and officers from the local police station were deployed to sweep the district court complexes.

Around the same time, an unidentified man called the Police Control Room (PCR), claiming that bombs had been placed inside CRPF schools in Prashant Vihar and Dwarka and he needed help from police. The threat triggered a similar response in this case, too, and teams were dispatched to the locations and schools were evacuated.

A police officer said the caller's phone switched off soon after the threat call and no one was found at his address. Efforts are underway to trace him.

Earlier, Dhir Singh Kasana, former secretary of the Saket Court Bar Association, said that court proceedings had stopped for about two hours but resumed after lunch. Navneet Panwar, vice president of the New Delhi Bar Association in Patiala House courts, too, confirmed that following the bomb threat, a sanitisation exercise was conducted, and proceedings were halted for a small period.
