Two held after their sons share message to blow up pvt school, wanted exam postponed: Cops

A police spokesperson said, “On getting information, a police team rushed to school and started investigation. It came to fore that the message was originally created by two students of Class 10 of the same school. The exams are going on and their motive was to cancel an exam that was to be held on September 16”.

An FIR under sections 153A, 505, 507 of IPC and 66F of I-T Act 2000 was registered at Sadar police station against two people whose phones were used to spread the message.

“Both have been arrested. The children of these two people are students at the school and had used their SIM cards for committing the offence,” the spokesperson said.

The incident comes day after after another school in Amritsar had received letters threatening to blow up the building. The letters were later traced to three students of the school.

Earlier, Amritsar MP Gurjeet Singh Aujla asked Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to tighten the security outside schools, stating that a principal of a famed school has received a threat which has triggered panic among the residents.
