Minor Girl Sends Fake Bomb Threat Email To Delhi School To Get A Day Off

Delhi Police have apprehended a minor student for allegedly sending a fake bomb-threat email to Air Force Bal Bharati School on Lodhi Road on October 23 to get a day off from classes, as per reports.

The school received the email with the subject line “Bombs Placed in Your Building”, prompting a police investigation to identify the sender and verify the threat.

The Cyber Police Station of South District launched a technical investigation after receiving information about the threatening communication.

Police said their examination of the email, digital evidence and associated linkages led them to identify the alleged sender as a student of the same school.

According to Delhi Police, investigators carried out a detailed technical analysis of the email to establish its origin and identify the person responsible.

The investigation indicated that the student allegedly sent the threat to get the school closed for the day and avoid attending classes.

Police identified her as a “child in conflict with the law”, the legal term used for a minor alleged to have committed an offence.

Authorities have initiated legal action under the applicable provisions of the Juvenile Justice Act.

Multiple Delhi Schools Receive Bomb Threats

The incident comes amid a series of bomb-threat emails targeting schools across Delhi.

On the morning of October 23, three other institutions — Sardar Patel Vidyalaya in Lodhi Estate, Venkateshwar Global School in Rohini and Salwan Public School in Mayur Vihar — also reportedly received bomb threats.

Authorities launched search operations at the affected schools following the threats as a precautionary measure.

The latest case adds to concerns over repeated bomb-threat emails targeting educational institutions in the national capital, prompting police to investigate the source of such communications and take security precautions.
