In what comes as a shock, the Delhi Cricket Association (DDCA) received a big threatening email on Friday, May 09, of an immediate explosion at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The ground plays host to the Delhi Capitals (DC) team in the Indian Premier League (IPL). The ground was also expected to host the Capitals' next home game against the Gujarat Titans (GT) on May 11. The DDCA received an anonymous email on Friday that completely threatened to blast the stadium.
A top DDCA official has confirmed this massive development to the Times of India and has subsequently alerted Delhi Police of the same.
"Yes, we received a threat email this morning and have already forwarded it to Delhi Police. They already swung into the action and did an inspection of the venue some time back," said the official.
