New Delhi's Fire Services reported that eight city hospitals and IGI Airport received bomb threats via email. This occurred 11 days after more than 150 schools in Delhi-NCR faced a bomb scare. The bomb threats targeted several locations, including Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal-3, Burari Hospital, Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Bara Hindu Rao Hospital, Janakpuri Super Speciality Hospital, Deen Dayal Upadhyay, Dabri's Dada Dev Hospital, and Aruna Asaf Ali Government Hospital in Civil Lines.

Security measures were heightened at the hospitals and additional police forces were deployed at the airport. Despite thorough searches, no suspicious items were found at any of the locations. Responding to a threat at Burari Hospital, law enforcement promptly dispatched a team including the bomb squad and the dog squad. Similar precautions were taken at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital.

An official from Burari Hospital confirmed the receipt of a threatening email, prompting a review of safety protocols. Similarly, Sanjay Gandhi Hospital also reported receiving a threat email. The origin of the threatening emails was traced back to Russia by the Delhi Police's anti-terror unit, linking it to the dark web.
