Bomb Threat Emails Target Multiple Delhi Schools on Third Consecutive Day

Delhi Police are coordinating with cybercrime experts and email service providers to identify the perpetrators.

For the third day in a row, bomb threat emails have disrupted schools across the capital, stirring anxiety among students, parents, and staff. On Wednesday morning, at least five additional schools—including St. Thomas School (Dwarka), Vasant Valley School, Richmond Global School, Mother's International School (Hauz Khas), and Sardar Patel Vidyalaya (Lodi Estate)—received hoax emails warning of explosive devices on campus

Following the threats, authorities promptly evacuated the affected schools and deployed bomb disposal squads, fire department units, and canine units. All locations underwent thorough inspections, and no suspicious objects were found

Emergency response teams from Delhi Police and Fire Services began investigations to trace the origin of the emails

This wave of threats follows earlier incidents earlier this week:

Yesterday, bomb hoax emails were sent to St. Thomas School (Dwarka) and St. Stephen’s College (North Campus, DU), prompting evacuation and extensive searches; no explosives were discovered

Earlier on Monday, similarly, threatening emails plagued Navy Children School (Chanakyapuri), CRPF School (Dwarka Sector 16), and CRPF Public School (Rohini); all were evacuated and cleared as hoaxes

Delhi Police are coordinating with cybercrime experts and email service providers to identify the perpetrators. While no group has claimed responsibility, investigators are analyzing email headers and IP logs to determine whether this is the work of an individual or an organized network.

In response to the spree of bomb hoaxes, schools citywide have tightened security protocols. These include verification of incoming emails, emergency readiness drills, and rapid-response procedures. Parents are being reassured that while the threats mirror previous hoaxes, authorities continue to treat each one with utmost seriousness.
