Two Delhi schools, including St. Thomas in Dwarka and Vasant Valley School in Vasant Kunj, received bomb threats via email, prompting immediate evacuations and thorough investigations by Delhi Police, bomb squads, and cyber experts.
This incident follows a similar wave of bomb threats received by multiple schools in Delhi last week, which turned out to be hoaxes.
On Tuesday, St Stephen’s College and St Thomas School received bomb threats through email, prompting authorities to launch a thorough search operation, with officials saying nothing suspicious has been found so far.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Raja Banthia said St Stephen’s College reported that they received the bomb threat at 7:15 am.
“The mail claimed that four IEDs and two RDX bombs have been planted on the premises and in the library of the college. It further claimed that those would explode by 2 pm,” the police officer was quoted as saying in a statement.
Teams from the Maurice Nagar Police Station and other agencies reached the spot, and the entire premises were cordoned off. A thorough check was carried out, but nothing suspicious has been found so far, officials said.
On Monday, three schools in the national capital received bomb threats, which were later declared a hoax by authorities. The threats were sent via email in the early hours of Monday to CRPF schools in Sector 16, Dwarka, and Prashant Vihar, and the Navy Children School in Chanakyapuri.
