Police stated that two First Information Reports (FIRs) were registered after posters with pro-boycott slogans for the Lok Sabha elections in the nation's capital were discovered on the walls at various locations throughout the vast Delhi University campus on Thursday. On May 25, there will be polls for all seven Lok Sabha seats in the Capital during the last phase. Meanwhile, officials said that an anonymous call threatening explosions was received by two Delhi University-affiliated colleges on Thursday. The call was later found to be fraudulent after further inquiry.
According to the Delhi Fire Service, calls threatening explosions were received by Lady Shri Ram College and Sri Venkateswara College in the national capital. "We received an anonymous call, threatening bomb strikes at Delhi's Lady Shri Ram College and Sri Venkateswara College. Fire tenders and Delhi Police team are at the spot," an official told ANI.

Subsequently, the Delhi Police said there was no reason to be concerned as the calls were fraudulent. "Some calls were received threatening explosions in two DU colleges. However, these calls have now been determined as bogus. There is nothing to worry about," an officer with Delhi Police said.
The Ministry of Home Affairs is housed in North Block, and earlier on Wednesday, Delhi Police reported that they got an email informing them that a bomb had been put there. The Delhi High Court had earlier in April requested a thorough status report on the hoax bomb threat against multiple private schools in the Capital from the AAP government.
