The incident comes a day after the Delhi High Court on Friday received a bomb threat e-mail, sparking chaos at the premises. The court witnsessed commotion after some judges began rising following the e-mail threatening attack. A thorough search operation was launched soon after. 

The e-mail was sent to the registrar general at around 8:39 AM, warning of explosions in the chambers and courtrooms around mid-day. Several judges left at around 11:35 AM, while some continued hearing cases till noon. However, the proceedings resumed at 2:30 PM as per normal schedule after the Delhi Police declared the threat a hoax.

The e-mail claimed "today's blast in the Delhi High Court will clear the doubts of previous bluffs" and warned of three bombs placed inside judges' rooms and the court complex, asking everyone to vacate by 2 PM, news agency PTI reported citing sources.

Hearings in several matters, including the case filed by actress Karisma Kapoor's children challenging the purported will of their late father Sunjay Kapur, were already over by the time the news of the bomb threat surfaced.

Advocate Kamlesh Mishra, who was present in a courtroom at the time, said the judges were informed about the bomb threat during the proceedings and everyone was asked to evacuate.

"A panic situation was created initially since we were not aware as to what was happening. Now the sanitisation process is in process and court proceedings are likely to resume once everything remains fine," PTI quoted him as saying.
