A few days after the schools in Delhi were sent emails threatening of bomb blast, schools in Ahmedabad have also received the bomb threats today.

According to media reports, the police and bomb squads reached the schools that were threatened, and the probe is underway.

Reports suggest that several schools in the city received the threat from a Russian server, prompting the authorities into action. These schools were reportedly include Anand Niketan (Thaltej), HB Kapadia School (Memnagar), Cosmos Castle School (SG Road), Asia school (Gurukul), Delhi Public School (Bopal), Zebar school (Thaltej), and two Kendriya Vidyalayas in Chandkheda and Shahibaug cantonment.

More details on this are awaited.

On May 1, a number of schools received similar threats. However, there were no concerning incidents reported after the bomb detection team, bomb disposal squad, and the Delhi fire services reached the sites.

Later, Delhi Education Minister Atishi in a statement said that nothing suspicious was found in any of the schools.
