A bomb threat received via email on Saturday caused a stir at the Taj Palace Hotel, eventually being deemed a hoax after a comprehensive search by Delhi Police, officials reported.

Taj Palace representatives highlighted the importance of guest safety, noting that a multi-faceted police response, including bomb disposal and dog squads, as well as a quick reaction team, was promptly deployed to the site. The suspicious email claimed improvised explosive devices were placed on each floor of the hotel.
