Several schools in Delhi received bomb threats via email on Friday, marking the second such incident this week. Police have stated that no suspicious items have been found so far.
Delhi Public School (East of Kailash), Salwan School, Modern School, and Cambridge School are among the institutions that received the threatening email. Authorities responded by sending students home and advising parents not to send their children to school for the day.
According to a copy of the email accessed by media house, it claimed that "several explosives" had been placed on school premises. The sender alleged involvement with a "secret dark web" group planning bomb blasts.
The email further stated:
"I am sure you do not check your students' bags frequently when they enter the school premises. The bombs are powerful enough to destroy the buildings and harm people. December 13 and 14 could be the days your schools will face a bomb blast. On December 14, there is a scheduled parent-teacher meeting in some of the schools mentioned—a perfect chance for the bombs to detonate."
The sender also demanded a reply to the email to discuss their "demands."
Police, along with fire department personnel, bomb detection teams, and dog squads, were dispatched to the affected schools to conduct thorough checks. Meanwhile, authorities are investigating the sender's IP address to trace the source of the email.
This incident follows a similar threat sent on December 9, when over 40 schools in Delhi received bomb hoax emails. That email, sent late at night, claimed multiple "small" bombs had been planted and demanded $30,000 to defuse them.
The earlier email read:
"It will not cause very much damage to the building, but many people will be injured when the bombs detonate. You all deserve to suffer and lose limbs."
Police later declared the December 9 threats to be a hoax but are taking the latest incident seriously to ensure the safety of students and staff.
