At least three schools in the city were evacuated in panic this morning after they were sent bomb threat emails, prompting emergency evacuation and complete security response by police and disaster management teams. The targeted schools are CRPF Public Schools in Dwarka Sector 16 and Prashant Vihar and Navy Children School in the diplomatic enclave of Chanakyapuri.
Alerts were initially triggered at around 8 AM, when multiple PCR calls were placed to nearby police stations registering the threats. Emergency response was quickly triggered. Students were evacuated instantly, bomb search teams, sniffer dogs, and anti-sabotage squads were sent to all three locations. Whole premises were cordoned off and searched carefully by the authorities.
No explosive material or suspicious objects seized, Delhi Police assures
Delhi Police has established that there is no explosive or suspicious material found yet. Police personnel and cybercrime officials are also trying to trace the source of threatening letters, which are suspected to have been written to all three institutions at the same time.
Security has been increased in the targeted campuses and regular classes for the day were suspended temporarily as a precaution. There was no injury or damage reported but the incident has caused widespread fear among parents, students, and school authorities.
The latest threats are the latest in a rising trend of similar hoax warnings to schools in the capital within the last few months.
