The Delhi Assembly received two alarming bomb threat emails on Monday, threatening to detonate 15 cyanide gas-filled RDX bombs. The threats, sent to both the official email of the Vidhan Sabha Secretariat and Speaker Vijender Gupta, specifically referenced the upcoming Tamil Nadu assembly elections scheduled for April 23. The emails, written in Hindi, accused the assembly of sending S V Shekhar, described as a 'BJP Brahmin agent,' to the DMK party, stating that this was the reason for the planned attack. The threats included a chilling directive to evacuate only Muslim employees from the assembly premises. The political landscape in Tamil Nadu is heating up as the DMK, AIADMK, and the emerging Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) prepare for the elections, with vote counting set for May 4.
