Updated: Dec 9th, 2024
The morning of the start of the week of early December brought horror in the national capital as several schools received bomb threats via email on Monday.
More than 40 schools in Delhi including R K Puram, G D Goenka, Mother Mary’s School, British School, Salwan Public School, Delhi Public School and Cambridge School received threats via email.
Following the email threats, all students were sent back home.
According to reports, Delhi Police, along with fire officials, a dog squad, Bomb detection and disposal teams (BDDS), and local cops, reached the spot and conducted search operations in the school. So far, no explosives have been confirmed.
A thorough investigation is underway to identify the individuals behind these threatening emails. Notably, the email sender also demanded $30,000.
This latest incident comes over a month after several CRPF schools across the country, including two in Delhi and one in Hyderabad, received bomb threats via email.
On October 21, a CRPF school in Tamil Nadu was threatened, leading to alerts being issued to all affiliated schools nationwide. However, that threat had turned out to be a hoax.
