NEW DELHI: The Delhi police on Tuesday said they have received a call about a blast near the Israel Embassy in Chanakyapuri area. Top officials have reached the spot and are investigating the matter.
"So far nothing has been found at the location," said Atul Garg, director of Delhi Fire Services.
The bomb scare comes hours after a major security scare in Mumbai when the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) received a threatening email outlining a plan to detonate 11 bombs across the financial capital, with HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank listed as potential targets.
The sender also demanded the resignation of Union finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman and RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das.
Mumbai Police has initiated a thorough investigation into the matter, deploying officers to the specified locations mentioned in the threatening email. Despite the urgency and severity of the situation, no evidence of explosive devices was found during the extensive search.
