Several schools in Delhi received bomb threat calls on Saturday morning, creating an environment of panic. The schools that were targeted include DPS Dwarka, Krishna Model Public School and Sarvodaya Vidyalaya.
On receiving the information, police teams along with bomb disposal squads were rushed to the schools.
The students and staff members were safely evacuated as precautionary measures, and thorough searches of the premises are underway.
In a separate incident, a school in the national capital also received a bomb threat on August 22. The information regarding the bomb threat was received by the Delhi Fire Service at 7 AM, prompting the police and fire department teams to rush to the spot.
Even on August 21, at least six schools in the city had received bomb threats through email, including Andhra School in Prasad Nagar, BGS International School, Rao Man Singh School, Convent School, Max Fort School, and Indraprastha International School, Dwarka.
On August 20, nearly 50 schools in Delhi received bomb threats again through email. Searches were conducted before the cops declared them a “hoax”.
On August 18, as many as 32 schools across the national capital had received similar threats, which later turned out to be hoax.
