An anonymous email threatening to “blow up the Supreme Court” triggered a massive anti-sabotage drive across national capital New Delhi, a day after the email was received by the State Police. Police sources said they were trying to trace the origin of the threat and were considering it “very seriously”. “We have beefed up security at all entry and exit points at the Apex Court; continuous sanitisation of the premises is being carried out in short durations,” a police officer said.
According to sources, entry to court premises was regulated to keep a check on the number of people in the vicinity. Issuance of visitors' passes was suspended temporarily, the police said. Meanwhile, the police is in the process of tracing the electronic path of the email threat to effectively trace its source.
A similar threat was recently issued at Justice Deepak Misra one of the three-member Bench that upheld Yakub Memon's hanging last month.
