Days after a huge blast near a CRPF school in New Delhi’s Rohini that sent shockwaves across the national capital, several CRPF schools across the country including two in Delhi and one in Hyderabad, received hoax bomb threats through email. The email is suspected to be an act by someone to create panic.
The sender has subjected the mail as “Nitrate-based Improvised EDs in listed school rooms.” The sender has demanded the evacuation of all educational institutions before 11 AM, raising urgent concerns for student safety.

The high-intensity blast outside the CRPF school in Rohini's Prashant Vihar on Sunday reportedly damaged nearby shops and vehicles, and also made a hole in the wall of the building. However, there were no reports of casualties or injuries.
Following the incident, a pro-Khalistani group claimed responsibility for the blast on Telegram. The Delhi Police later reached out to the social media app, requesting details about the channel from where the post originated.
Since last week, multiple Indian airlines operating both domestic and international routes have received bomb threats. The airlines affected include Air India, IndiGo, Vistara, and Akasa Air. On Tuesday, IndiGo confirmed that 10 of its flights, primarily on international routes, received bomb threats.
Following the blast, officials from CRPF, NIA and Delhi Police visited the CRPF School. Earlier, CRPF officials from the Institute of IED Management, Pune, FSL (Forensic Science Laboratory) and security officials conducted their probe into the matter.
