Assembly gets second bomb threat in 2 days, turns out to be hoax

The Delhi Assembly received a bomb threat for the second consecutive day on Wednesday, triggering a security scare during the ongoing Budget Session, but the warning later turned out to be a hoax.

While the session, which began at 11 a.m., continued without interruption, the dog squad and bomb disposal squad personnel carried out a thorough search of the Assembly complex after the threat mails were sent to the official e-mail addresses of the Assembly and the Speaker around 9.50 a.m.
