"The call was a hoax," said Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Sagarpreet Hooda. A police station got the call stating that six people would enter the court complex dressed like lawyers and plant explosives in the premises.
The caller said the sprawling court complex in north Delhi would be blown up between 10 am to 2.30 pm. Following the threat, the Delhi Bar Association announced a holiday in the court and all matters were posted for Friday.
