A school in south Delhi’s Sadiq Nagar was evacuated on Wednesday after it received a hoax email claiming bombs were planted on the premises.
DCP (South) Chandan Chowdhary said, “The Indian School received the [bomb threat] email at 10.49 a.m. and a person from the school, Brijesh, informed the Defence Colony police station. The school was evacuated immediately and security personnel began a thorough inspection of the premises.”
The police said that bomb squads and SWAT teams reached the school after the evacuation and the Special Cell was also alerted.
“Multiple rounds of thorough checking of the school premises were undertaken by the security teams. The email threat appears to be hoax,” the DCP said.
She added that investigation is under way to track the sender and source of the email.
The Indian School had received a similar threat email in November 2022 sent via a German IP server, the officer said.
