New Delhi: In another series of hoax call incidents in the national capital, several museums in Delhi received bomb threats which later turned out to be bogus, the police said on Wednesday.

Officials said that bomb threats were sent to around 10-15 museums including the Railway Museum in Delhi via emails.

"As soon as the information was received, the team of Delhi police immediately rushed to the spots to investigate the matter. The mail regarding bomb threats was sent to various museums including the Rail Museum of the city, on Tuesday," police officials said on Wednesday.

Upon investigation, the officials found that the mail was a 'hoax' and no bomb was found in the museums.

The police have registered a case in this regard and further investigation is underway to find those behind the hoax call. 

It is pertinent to note that several institutions; schools, colleges, hospitals, and airports, in the national capital have received hoax bomb threats lately. (with Agency inputs)
