Days after over 150 schools in Delhi-NCR received a bomb scare of unprecedented scale, eight city hospitals and IGI Airport received bomb threats through emails, which later turned out to be hoaxes.

The bomb threats were reported from Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal-3, Burari Hospital, Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Bara Hindu Rao Hospital, Janakpuri Super Speciality Hospital, Deen Dayal Upadhyay and Dabri’s Dada Dev Hospital, a senior official of the Delhi Fire Services (DFS) said.

“On May 12, at about 3.30 pm, a bomb hoax mail was received at GTB Hospital, GTB Enclave. Hospital authorities informed the local police about that mail. Immediately police swung into action and called the Bomb Disposal Squad which inspected GTB Hospital and Delhi State Cancer Institute premises,” DCP Shahdara said adding that nothing suspicious was found.

Meanwhile, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), reacted on the bomb threat received by the Hindu Rao Hospital and said that security checks have been enhanced on the premises.
