Three schools in Delhi received threatening emails on Monday, leading to extensive search operations by security agencies. The schools involved are Salwan Public School, Meera Public School in Janakpuri, and the Army Public School in Delhi Cantt, a high-security area. Upon receiving the alerts, units from the Delhi Police, bomb disposal teams, dog squads, and the Delhi Fire Services swiftly responded, securing the school premises to ensure the safety of students and staff.
No suspicious items have been discovered in the schools so far, as confirmed by officials who are currently investigating the source of the emails and have promised strict action against the perpetrators. Following a similar incident last week where bomb threats were sent to the Delhi Secretariat and two other schools, the Army Public School in Dhaula Kuan and Air Force Bal Bharti School on Lodhi Road, security measures were promptly implemented.
In response to the recent threats, authorities have intensified efforts to trace the origin of the emails and verify their credibility. The trend of such threats in the Delhi-NCR region has been on the rise, with over 500 cases reported last year and at least four bomb threat emails targeting schools in the past two weeks alone. Police have emphasized the importance of vigilance among school authorities and the strict adherence to precautionary measures to ensure the safety of all individuals on school premises.
Investigations into the Army Public School incident are ongoing, with a focus on identifying the source of the threatening email and safeguarding the well-being of students and staff. Parents and the public have been urged to remain composed as security checks and sanitization procedures continue.
