NEW DELHI: Panic gripped several educational institutions in the national capital on Tuesday as at least four prominent schools received bomb threat emails, triggering massive security responses and evacuation procedures.
The threatening messages, which arrived via email in the morning hours, prompted immediate action from school authorities and law enforcement agencies. According to police sources, swift coordination between school management and security forces ensured minimal disruption while thorough checks were conducted.
Security Protocol Activated
Upon receiving the threats, school administrations immediately implemented standard security protocols. Students were safely evacuated from buildings as bomb disposal squads and dog teams rushed to the scenes. The thorough searches conducted across all affected campuses confirmed the threats were false alarms.
"All received emails were found to be hoaxes after complete sanitization exercises," confirmed a senior police official involved in the operation. "No suspicious items were discovered at any of the locations."
Investigation Intensifies
Delhi Police have registered cases and launched a comprehensive investigation to trace the origin of these threatening communications. Cyber crime units are examining the digital footprints of the emails while special teams are working to identify the individuals or groups responsible.
"Creating panic through such false threats is a serious offense," emphasized the police statement. "We are pursuing all technical and human intelligence leads to apprehend the culprits."
Parents Alerted, Normalcy Restored
School authorities maintained communication with parents throughout the ordeal, assuring them of student safety and the precautionary measures being taken. Most institutions resumed normal operations after receiving clearance from security agencies.
Education department officials have advised all schools in the region to enhance their security screening processes and maintain heightened vigilance regarding electronic communications.
