Around 100 schools in Delhi-NCR received bomb threat via emails this morning triggering panic among the students, parents and the school authorities.
Schools who got the mail include Mother Mary’s School in Mayur Vihar, Sanskriti School in Chanakyapuri, St. Thomas’ Girls Senior Secondary School, Army Public School, DPS International School, DPS schools in RK Puram, Guru Harkrishan Public School, Delhi, Salwan Public School, Delhi, BGS Vijnatham School in Dwarka and Amity School in Pushpa Vihar, Delhi.
Soon after the schools received the threat emails, children were sent back home. The entire area near the schools were cordoned off and search operations were conducted by the police.
Dog squads, bomb detection teams, bomb disposal squads and officials of Fire Service swarmed the schools.
Initially some school Principals thought it was an act of some dissatisfied members of a parents’ group who were behind the scare mails but they soon realised that it was more than just a mail from some unhappy parents.
Delhi Police said that the email address used for the mail had a Russian domain, however, it is not yet certain whether the email originated from there. The email was traced back to the domain “mail.ru”, reported The Economic Times.
Ravinder Yadav, Special CP, Delhi Police Crime Branch said that some hospitals have also received these emails yesterday. He said, “Even if it is a hoax call, we cannot take chances. We are investigating.”
Delhi Education Minister Atishi posted on X, “Some schools have received bomb threats today morning. Students have been evacuated and those premises are being searched by Delhi Police. So far nothing has been found in any of the schools. We are in constant touch with the Police and the schools. Would request parents and citizens not to panic. School authorities will be in touch with parents wherever needed.”
In February, a similar threat at Delhi Police School in RK Puram had turned out to be hoax.
