Threat to blow up Red Fort and Jama Masjid turns out to be fake; Security agencies on alert

  A false bomb threat targeting Delhi's historic Red Fort and Jama Masjid jolted security agencies into action on Thursday morning. An official of the Delhi Fire Service said that an immediate investigation was launched at both the places after the incident. The official said that a phone call was received at 9:03 am, informing about the presence of a bomb in these monuments. After a while, security teams reached the spot. A fire tender was sent to the spot and a thorough search was conducted at both the places. However, no suspicious object was found during the investigation.

Security agencies step up surveillance

The incident has taken place at a time when the security situation in Delhi is already sensitive. Both the Red Fort and Jama Masjid are major historical and cultural places that are visited by a large number of tourists and devotees every day. Following this threat, the police and other security agencies have stepped up their surveillance in the area.

Investigation launched against those spreading rumours

The official also said that an investigation has been launched to identify those spreading such rumours. It is not yet clear who made the call and from where, but it is believed to be a mischievous act. Delhi Police has appealed to the people not to pay attention to rumours and maintain peace.
