\"North<\/div>\n
A day after the North Block received a hoax bomb threat<\/a> email, the Delhi Police<\/a> on Thursday wrote to Google<\/a> seeking details of its IP address<\/a>, an official source said. The Internet Protocol<\/a> (IP) address is a unique identifying number assigned to every device connected to the internet. <\/p>\n

A bomb threat on Wednesday sent alarm bells ringing in the North Block, which houses the office of the Ministry of Home Affairs<\/a> (MHA), but was declared a hoax after nothing suspicious was found. <\/p>\n

A letter has been sent to Google to provide the IP address of the email which was sent to the MHA office, an official source said. <\/p>\n

The Delhi Police Special Cell<\/a> and the local police are investigating the case. A case may be registered at Kartavya Path police station<\/a> for further investigation, an officer said. <\/p>\n

A senior officer posted at MHA received the threat through an email around 3:30 pm on Wednesday. The email stated that the “building will explode as a bomb is planted”. <\/p>\n

The mail was sent from an anonymous Gmail address and it is suspected that the sender used a VPN (virtual private network<\/a>) that masks the IP address, according to police.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
