Delhi Police Arrest 12th-Grade Student For Sending Bomb Threat To Schools

A 12th-grade student has been arrested for sending bomb threats to several schools in Delhi via email, police said.

The student confessed to sending the last 23 threat emails received by various schools in the city. He also admitted to sending similar emails in the past.

Police stated, “The last 23 threat emails received by different schools in Delhi were sent by a 12th-class student. During interrogation, he admitted that he had sent threat emails earlier as well.”

Additionally, they asserted that several schools in Delhi received bomb threat emails on Wednesday.

The schools affected include Delhi Public School in Vasant Vihar and RK Puram, Blue Bells, and Tagore International. The emails stated that explosives had been planted on the premises.

Authorities are investigating the threats, which resemble previous hoax bomb threats sent to city schools.

The emails warned of ‘massive and highly dangerous explosives’ planted on the school premises.

The e-mail shared by police sources noted, “Your lack of strict bag checks for students entering the school has provided us with the perfect opportunity to carry out our plan.”

In one email, the sender claimed knowledge of the school’s exam schedule and the movements of students.

“During this time, everyone apart from the students writing the exam will either be standing outside on the field or wandering around the building. You will remain completely unaware of the devastating explosives that have already been planted in multiple key locations on your premises,” the mail added.
