According to The Tribune, three other schools in Delhi — Vishal Bharti in Paschim Vihar, Krisna Model Public School in Jafarpur, and Ekta Model School in Najafgarh — also received bomb threats on Friday.

Following the bomb threat to DPS, Dwarka, on Friday, former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal blamed the Union Home Ministry and the Delhi police for the rising number of such threats that throw schools into a tizzy. He said such criminals' morale was high because no one has been caught yet for issuing such threats.
