Delhi CM Secretariat, MAMC, UCMS Bomb Emails Declared Hoax; Police Say Message Likely Meant for Tamil Nadu

Police describe a hoax modeled on prior emails, apparently misdirected to Delhi from a Tamil Nadu context, as cyber teams trace the masked sender.

Overview

  • Emails warning of blasts reached the Delhi Chief Minister’s Secretariat, Maulana Azad Medical College and the University College of Medical Sciences on Tuesday, triggering evacuations and full searches.
  • Bomb detection squads, dog units, Delhi Fire Service and other agencies secured the sites under SOPs; UCMS was declared safe at 1:30 pm and no explosives were found at any location.
  • One email claimed RDX with a one‑kilometre blast radius had been planted, but police said exhaustive checks cleared the premises and the threats were fake.
  • Investigators said the content matched earlier hoax patterns and indicated the message referenced the Tamil Nadu Secretariat and Chennai targets, including named DMK leaders and journalists, which Tamil Nadu officials also treated as a hoax.
  • Cyber units are tracing the sender, noting VPN masking, and officers said legal action will follow as probes continue after a wider spate of similar hoax threats to schools and colleges, including cases in Jaipur and Indore this week.
