'If I Don't Receive $30,000, Will Detonate Bombs': 40 Delhi Schools Get Fresh Bomb Threat; Students Sent Back
The students were immediately sent to their homes and investigating agencies reached the spot.
Delhi Schools Bomb Threat: Around 40 schools in Delhi, including DPS RK Puram and GD Goenka School in Paschim Vihar, got a fresh bomb threat call on Monday morning. The students were immediately sent to their homes and investigating agencies reached the spot.
The threat mail read, "I planted multiple bombs inside (school) buildings. The bombs are small and hidden very well. It will not cause much damage to the building, but many people will be injured when the bombs detonate."
This comes over a month after several CRPF schools across the nation, including two in Delhi and one in Hyderabad, received bomb threats via e-mail. A CRPF school in Tamil Nadu got the threat on October 21 night, following which an alert was sent out to all the affiliated schools in the country, the Delhi Police said at the time.
Around 150 schools received bomb threat calls in May this year. Delhi Police officials later suspected that the threat emails were sent from Hungary's capital Budapest. The mail purportedly sent from a mail.ru server claimed that explosives were planted on the school premises, triggering massive evacuations and searches as panic-stricken parents rushed to pick up their children on May 1.
The threat that sent alarm bells ringing in the security establishment was later declared as a hoax as nothing objectionable was found from the school campuses. A probe had led to the suspicion of a "deeper conspiracy" hatched by a terror group and it was suspected that the threat mail could have been sent by an ISIS module.
AAP Attacks Centre, Says Law And Order In Delhi Never So Bad
Delhi Chief Minister Atishi attacked the Centre over the law and order in the national capital. "After the daily incidents of ransom, murders, firing in Delhi, now threats of bombing of schools are being received. The law and order situation in Delhi has never been so bad before. The BJP-ruled central government has failed in its only task of providing security to the people of Delhi," she wrote on X.
AAP National Convener Arvind Kejriwal, who has been highlighting crime incidents ahead of the Delhi Assembly elections, asked Union Home Minister Amit Shah to answer the public. "The people of Delhi have never seen such a bad state of law and order in Delhi before. Amit Shah ji should come and answer the people of Delhi," he said.
