An email threatening to blow up the Reserve Bank of India was sent to the central bank on Thursday afternoon. The email was sent in Russian. A case has been registered against the unknown accused at Mata Ramabai Marg (MRA Marg) police station. The police have started an investigation.

Last month, a similar threat was sent to the RBI customer care. The threat on that occasion was received at the customer care centre in Mumbai. The caller claimed to be the 'CEO' of Pakistan-based terror group Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Even on December 23 last year, the RBI received a threat email which warned of a bomb in the building. The email had then demanded the resignation of the then Governor Shaktikanta Das and Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman.

Delhi Schools Bomb Threat

Earlier on Friday morning, six schools in Delhi suspended classes due to a bomb threat. The threat was received at 12:54 AM on Friday and the schools informed the parents not to bring their wards to the school.

After a thorough search at the schools, no suspicious item was found. Meanwhile, the schools decided to continue classes online. A decision on whether to call back the students to the school tomorrow will be taken in the evening.

Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said: "This is the second time in this week that Delhi schools have received bomb threats, which is extremely serious and worrying. If this continues, how badly will it affect the children? What will happen to their studies?" In the run up to the Delhi elections, Kejriwal has been accusing the Central government and Union Home Minister Amit Shah of failing to control the law & order situation in Delhi.
