Two DU Colleges Evacuated Amid Bomb Scare
3 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Ramjas and Deshbandhu colleges received bomb threat emails.
- Examinations were cancelled due to the security threat.
- Police found no suspicious objects after a thorough search.
Ramjas College and Deshbandhu College, two prominent institutions affiliated with Delhi University, experienced significant disruption on Wednesday due to bomb threat emails. The official email addresses of both college principals received an alarming message just before 2:00 AM, warning of an imminent explosion and urging immediate evacuation.
The threat specifically mentioned Pakistan's ISI and individuals involved in a meth case, alleging a plot to bomb the colleges. The sender, claiming to be a political party member from South India seeking witness protection, detailed the alleged planning and urged authorities to disarm devices. As a result, examinations scheduled for the day at Ramjas College were cancelled, and students and staff were evacuated.
Police and specialized bomb detection units swiftly responded to the threats, conducting extensive searches across both campuses. While the campuses were temporarily restricted, no explosive materials or suspicious objects were found. Deshbandhu College, having concluded its academic year in November, only had a few practical exams scheduled, which concluded early. The campuses were vacated as a precaution while security checks were performed.
