Over 50 schools get bomb threats

Over 50 schools in Delhi received bomb threat emails on Wednesday. Schools and parents were miffed over the repeated bomb related threats to institutions in the city.

This is for the second time in the last three days that the schools received such threat. On Monday, 32 institutions got similar threat emails.

According to the Delhi Police, a group calling itself “Terrorist 111” sent emails to DAV Public School, Faith Academy, Doon Public School, Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, among others demanding $25,000. The same group had also allegedly demanded $5,000 in cryptocurrency after sending bomb threats to several schools on August 18.

The email stated: “We have breached your IT systems, extracted student and staff data and damaged all security cameras. We are monitoring your activities in real-time. Transfer 2,000 USD to the Ethereum address within 48 hours, or we will detonate a bomb.”

However, after a thorough search, nothing suspicious was found, an official said.
