A school in Vadodara received bomb threat on Friday after which police and bomb squad reached the spot. The threat was received by the principal of Navrachana School via email after which the school was closed to ensure the safety of students and staff. 

The police conducted thorough checks at the school premises. 

The development comes just a day after schools in Delhi and Mumbai received bomb threats. 

The schools in Delhi received threats allegedly from banned pro-Khalistan group, Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), urging them to suspend their Republic Day celebrations. The messages later turned out to be hoax.

In a direct and urgent directive" email, the SFJ stated it is "taking decisive action to prevent President Droupadi Murmu from unfurling the Tiranga as a protest against the Constitution, which erases identity and perpetuates systemic oppression." 

The email instructed schools to suspend participation in the Republic Day celebration threatening a "high risk of violence and state retaliation." 

The mail also warned people against sending students or staff to any Republic Day events. 

"Ensure families are informed to keep their children at home on January 26. Participation in Republic Day events poses a grave threat to the safety of students and staff. It is your responsibility to prioritise their well-being on symbolic involvement in state-sponsored celebrations. Delhi has been warned. Stay Home, Stay Safe," the email read.

A school in Mumbai also received a bomb threat mail prompting swift security response. Local law enforcement and explosive detection teams rushed to the Ryan Global School in the Jogeshwari-Oshiwara region of the city to thoroughly investigate the premises.
