Delhi School Bomb Threat: A class 12 student has been detained by police for sending bomb threats to schools in the national capital, reported ANI citing DCP South Ankit Chauhan. The student, who confessed to the crime, sent 23 threatening emails to different Delhi schools.
"The last 23 threat emails received by different schools in Delhi were sent by a 12th-class student. During interrogation, he admitted that he had sent threat emails earlier as well," said Chauhan.
On Wednesday, several schools in Delhi received bomb threat emails, according to the police. Officials reported that the affected schools include Delhi Public School in Vasant Vihar and RK Puram, Blue Bells, and Tagore International. The emails alleged that a significant quantity of explosives had been placed on the school grounds.
Reportedly, the student sent bomb threat emails a minimum of six times, each time targeting different schools, except for his own. To avoid raising suspicion, he always included multiple schools in each email.
Authorities are investigating the threats, which are similar to previous hoax bomb threats sent to schools in the city.
The e-mail warned the school of "massive and highly dangerous explosives" on its premises. "Your lack of strict bag checks for students entering the school has provided us with the perfect opportunity to carry out our plan," the e-mail, shared by police sources, read.
The email stated that the sender was aware of the exam schedule and the movement of students within the school premises.
"During this time, everyone apart from the students writing the exam will either be standing outside on the field or wandering around the building. You will remain completely unaware of the devastating explosives that have already been planted in multiple key locations on your premises," said the email.
