The Bomb Threat Emails To Delhi Schools Came From Budapest: Delhi Police

Delhi police official on Tuesday revealed that the bomb threat emails received earlier this month by 150 schools in Delhi-NCR are suspected to have been sent from the capital of Hungary- Budapest.

The IP address of the received emails has been traced to Budapest. Delhi police will soon contact its counterparts in Budapest and proceed with further investigation, a police official said.

On May 1, a mail purportedly sent from a mail.ru server said that explosives were planted in the school premises in Delhi-NCR, leading to massive chaos in Schools. The incident triggered widespread evacuation and search as panicked parents rushed to their children.

The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique identifying number assigned to every device that is connected to the Internet.

The threat that had put a question mark on the security of the nation and perked up the security establishment was later found to be a hoax as nothing objectionable was found during the search on the school campuses.

The police were investigating the matter and trying to reach the IP address used to send the e-mail to decipher the conspiracy and motive behind the act that resulted in mayhem across the Delhi-NCR.

The officials mentioned that a preliminary investigation suggests a potential “deeper conspiracy” orchestrated by a terrorist group during the ongoing Lok Sabha polls. They added that the threat email may have been sent by a module associated with ISIS.
