Nothing suspicious has been found yet, said a police official at around 9:30 am, adding further operations are underway.

According to PTI, quoting sources, the email was delivered to the schools' email ID at 11:38 pm on Sunday, when the schools were closed, from scottielanza@gmail.com.

"I planted multiple bombs inside the building. The bombs are small and hidden very well. It will not cause very much damage to the building, but many people will be injured when the bombs detonate," the content of the mail read. 

It also said, "You all deserve to suffer and lose limbs." "If I do not receive 30,000 dollars. The group =E2=80=9CKNR=E2=80=9D is behind this attack," it reads. 

The schools alerted the parents about the bomb scare and asked the parents to collect their wards from their respective bus stops.
