After bomb threats over email to schools, hospitals and other establishments in the national capital, the Delhi Police has planned to expand its bomb detection, disposal and dog squads in each of its district for swift action, official sources said.
There are five bomb disposal squads, 18 bomb detection teams and one dog squad with 70 canines for Delhi's 15 police districts.
All three units are under the Crime Branch.
In the past two months, there have been at least seven instances of hospitals, schools, colleges, museums, railway establishments, prisons and government offices getting bomb threats via email that were sent using virtual private networks (VPN) or proxy servers.
The threats were later found to be hoaxes and are being investigated by the Special Cell.
The sources said whenever such a threat is received, the entire machinery of the administration is tasked with sweeping the premises.
