New Delhi, August 22: At least five schools in India’s capital received bomb threats by email on Thursday, police said, the third such incident in four days that has triggered alarm among parents and staff.
Authorities said the warnings were reported between 6:35 a.m. and 7:48 a.m., including at BGS International Public School in Dwarka. Police teams, accompanied by fire personnel and bomb disposal squads, rushed to the campuses and launched searches.
The latest threats follow two earlier waves this week, with about 30 schools targeted on Monday and nearly 50 more on Wednesday. None of the threats has so far been substantiated, police said.
Investigators are probing the source of the emails, which officials suspect may be part of a coordinated hoax campaign aimed at disrupting schools and spreading panic.
