Delhi Schools Bomb Threat: Two Delhi schools — DPS RK Puram and GD Goenka School in Paschim Vihar — got a fresh bomb threat call on Monday morning. The students were immediately sent to their homes and investigating agencies reached the spot.
Around 150 schools received bomb threat calls in May this year. Delhi Police officials later suspected that the threat emails were sent from Hungary’s capital Budapest. The mail purportedly sent from a mail.ru server claimed that explosives were planted on the school premises, triggering massive evacuations and searches as panic-stricken parents rushed to pick up their children on May 1.
The threat that sent alarm bells ringing in the security establishment was later declared as a hoax as nothing objectionable was found from the school campuses. A probe had led to the suspicion of a “deeper conspiracy” hatched by a terror group and it was suspected that the threat mail could have been sent by an ISIS module.
(This is a developing story.)
