At least 16 schools in Delhi received bomb threats via email in the early hours of Friday, prompting a multi-agency search of the premises, according to the Delhi Police. After a thorough investigation, the police declared the threats as hoaxes, as nothing suspicious was found.
Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal called the bomb threat emails “extremely serious and worrying” in a post on X, adding that it can “badly affect children.” He also stated, “This is the second time this week that Delhi schools have received bomb threats, which is extremely serious and worrying. If this continues, how badly will it affect the children? What will happen to their studies?”
