New Delhi, February 13 At least five schools in Delhi received bomb threat emails on Friday morning, which were later declared a "hoax," officials said.
The threatening email contained disturbing and provocative content, claiming, "Delhi will become Khalistan and there will be a bomb blast at 1:11 pm in schools."
The email also claimed that a blast would take place inside the Parliament building at 2:11 pm, prompting heightened security alerts and coordination among multiple agencies.
The Delhi Fire Services (DFS) revealed the names of the schools that received the threat email: the Delhi Tamil Education Association on Pusa Road, Kendriya Vidyalaya in Gole Market, Happy Public School in Daryaganj, Rabea Public School in Ballimaran, and CL Bhalla DAV School in Jhandewalan.
According to the DFS, the first call was received before 9:12 am, followed by others at 9:59 am, 11:07 am, 11:08 am, and 1:39 pm.
In a message to parents, another school said, "Dear Parents, this morning the school received a security threat. As a precautionary measure, the police are present at the school to take necessary security measures. All students have been safely evacuated. Classes will resume once the school is declared safe."
"We conducted thorough searches and found nothing suspicious. The threat has been declared a 'hoax'," the DFS said.
A similar incident occurred on Monday when more than a dozen schools received bomb threat emails, which also turned out to be a hoax.
Senior police officers said cyber teams have been deployed to trace the origin of the email, while security arrangements across sensitive locations in the capital have been reviewed.
