Over 100 schools in national capital receive bomb threats

Over 100 schools in the national capital received bomb threats via email on Saturday morning, triggering panic among parents and the authorities. However, the threats were later declared hoax after thorough checking.

The email received at 6:10 am came from a user, which called itself “terrorizers111”. The email was sent to all schools at the same time from an Indian domain, said an investigator.

The subject of the email mentioned “bombs placed in your building, react or face the disaster”. The email stated: “To the Administration and IT department of all buildings, I am nothing but the definition of pure hatred. I am the child of evil, my existence makes gods fear me, my presence makes the mundane terrify, I am the untouchable one, my alias go by 4zurf, aka owner of terroristic group known by millions, aka terrorizers111. We have placed bombs around your building. You have 24 hours to disarm the bombs or you will face the blood proof.”

Following the threat, bomb disposal squad and Delhi Police, Delhi Fire Services teams rushed to the campuses. After thorough checking of the premises, nothing suspicious was found. The threats were later declared hoax, a police official mentioned.

The schools that received threats include Delhi Public School (DPS) in Dwarka, Krishna Model Public School, Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, CRPF Public School in Dwarka, and Mata Vidya Devi Public School in Najafgarh.

Following the bomb threats, AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal slammed the Delhi Government over repeated threats to institutions in the national capital. “Delhi schools are repeatedly receiving bomb threats. Panic had ensued everywhere, schools are shut down, and fear in spreading among children and parents... but in a year, no one has been caught, nor has any action been taken. The four-engine BJP government can’t even manage the security of the Capital. Parents are living in a fear every day. When will all this end? Kejriwal posted on X.
