Authorities, including police and specialized security agencies, swiftly initiated precautionary measures and launched an investigation to trace the source of the threatening communication. As of now, further details regarding the incident are pending, with officials working to ascertain the credibility and origin of the email.
Recent Wave of Similar Threats in Delhi Schools
This latest threat emerges just days after a series of similar incidents shook the national capital. On Thursday morning, at least three other schools in Delhi received comparable bomb threat emails, causing widespread panic and triggering a rapid multi-agency response. The affected institutions included:
- CRPF Public School
- St Thomas School in Dwarka
- DAV Centenary Public School in Paschim Enclave
In response to those threats, emergency services were mobilized on a large scale. Fire tenders, police teams, bomb disposal squads, and dog squads were dispatched to the campuses. As a safety precaution, students and staff were evacuated from the premises. Initial searches conducted by officials revealed no suspicious objects, and cyber teams were subsequently tasked with tracing the origin and verifying the authenticity of the emails.
Ongoing Investigations and Security Concerns
The recurrence of such threats has heightened security concerns across educational institutions in Delhi. Authorities are intensifying efforts to identify the perpetrators behind these emails, with a focus on cyber forensics to track digital footprints. The incidents underscore the need for robust security protocols and prompt response mechanisms to safeguard schools against potential threats. While no explosives have been found in any of the cases so far, the psychological impact on students, parents, and staff remains significant, prompting calls for enhanced vigilance and coordination among law enforcement agencies.
