Bomb Scare At Delhi Colleges: Lady Shri Ram College and Sri Venkateswara College of Delhi University received bomb threat calls on Thursday, prompting fire tenders and Delhi Police to respond, according to news agency ANI. Apart from these two, several other colleges including  Hansraj College, Ramjas College, and IP College received bomb threat calls.

According to Republic, the information about bomb threat calls at Lady Shri Ram College was received at around 4.40 PM today.

However, Delhi Police said that the calls are bogus and there is no need to worry.

The incident occurred one day after the Union Home Ministry's office received a bogus threat on Wednesday. Previously, Delhi-NCR schools and hospitals faced similar threats.

According to Delhi Police, the Police Control Room in North Block, which houses the Ministry of Home Affairs, received a bomb threat by mail. Two fire vehicles, a dog squad, and bomb disposal and detection teams were dispatched to the scene.

Three hotels in Bengaluru, Karnataka, including a five-star establishment, received bomb threats earlier on Thursday.

The sequence of events began on April 30 with a threat to Delhi's Chacha Nehru Hospital, and then on May 1 it spread to 150 schools. Threats against the schools came from a mailing service company with headquarters in Russia.

On May 12, a Cyprus-based mailing service company sent bomb threats via emails to twenty hospitals, the IGI Airport, and the CPRO office of Northern Railways in Delhi.
