At least eight private schools in Gurgaon as well as the Dwarka court complex received bomb threats via emails on Wednesday morning, prompting evacuation of premises. After hours of search operations, the threats were declared a hoax, police said.

According to ACP Vikas Kaushik, the first bomb threat was sent to a private school in DLF Phase 1 around 7 am. This prompted a coordinated search operation involving the bomb disposal team, Gurgaon Police, the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), as well as the Civil Defence and Fire departments.

The other schools that received threats included Kunskapsskolan at DLF Phase 1, Lancers International School at Sector 53, Heritage Xperiential Learning School at Sector 64, and Pathways World School at Badshahpur.

“As a precautionary measure, the school buildings were evacuated, ensuring the safety of students, teachers, and staff. Schools on their end informed parents not to send children to school and that online classes will be held,” a police spokesperson said.

“A cybercrime team is actively investigating the authenticity of the emails, tracing their origin, and identifying the sender with the assistance of cyber experts,” the spokesperson added.

The Dwarka court complex, meanwhile, witnessed chaos when the court administration received an email threatening to blow up the premises.

Personnel from the Delhi Police, the Fire department, the bomb squad and the dog squad were rushed to the spot and the entire court complex was evacuated.
