This incident follows a similar wave of bomb threats received by multiple schools in Delhi last week, which turned out to be hoaxes.
Delhi continues to reel under a wave of bomb threats, with at least five schools reporting fresh alerts today across different parts of the national capital. The threats were received via email and prompted swift responses from authorities.
According to reports, the latest alerts were received by schools in Dwarka at 5:26 am, Vasant Kunj at 6:30 am, Paschim Vihar at 8:11 am, and Hauz Khas at 8:12 am. Bomb disposal squads, local police, and cyber experts were deployed to each location for thorough checks, but nothing suspicious has been found so far.
The two schools, St. Thomas in Dwarka and Vasant Valley School in Vasant Kunj, had already faced similar threats earlier, prompting evacuations and detailed inspections.
On Tuesday, St. Stephen’s College and St. Thomas School also received bomb threats via email. According to Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Raja Banthia, St. Stephen’s reported receiving the threat at 7:15 am. “The mail claimed that four IEDs and two RDX bombs had been planted on the premises and in the library of the college. It further claimed they would explode by 2 pm,” he said.
Following the alert, teams from Maurice Nagar Police Station and other agencies swiftly cordoned off the area and conducted a comprehensive search. Officials later confirmed that nothing suspicious was recovered.
On Monday, bomb threats were sent to three schools in Delhi: CRPF schools in Sector 16, Dwarka and Prashant Vihar, and the Navy Children School in Chanakyapuri. These, too, were declared hoaxes after security personnel found no explosives on the premises.
