After Gurgaon, eight Delhi schools now get bomb threats

Officials said Bomb Disposal Squads, Bomb Disposal Teams, Delhi Fire Services tenders were all rushed to the spot.

As per a statement from SPV, the bomb threat was declared a hoax by the Delhi Police.

“This morning, the school received a security threat. As a precautionary measure, the authorities were immediately informed and the bomb squad conducted a thorough inspection of the entire campus. We are relieved to inform you that the premises has been declared completely safe for use. Classes will continue as usual today.”

Police officers said the threat at Mount Carmel in Dwarka has also been declared a hoax. “No suspicious items have been found in most of the schools; cyber crime teams are tracking the source of the e-mails,” a police officer said.

At least eight private schools in Gurgaon received bomb threats on Wednesday morning. Sources had said SDRF teams were roped in for the searches at the schools including Kunskapsskolan at DLF Phase 1, Lancers International School at Sector 53, Heritage Xperiential Learning School at Sector 64, and Pathways World School at Badshahpur.
