Police added that intensive checks are carried out in classrooms, buildings, and surrounding areas.

“As of now, no suspicious items or explosive materials have been recovered during the searches. The checking process remains ongoing with full rigour,” officials added.

Police have described the law and order situation as fully under control and urged the public not to panic.

“A cybercrime team is actively investigating the authenticity of the emails, tracing their origin, and identifying the sender with the assistance of cyber experts. We appeal to citizens to avoid spreading rumours and to report any suspicious activity immediately. We are committed to public safety and said all necessary measures are in place,” the spokesperson added.

The incident comes amid a pattern of similar hoax threats reported in parts of the NCR in recent months, though officials have emphasised that no credible evidence of actual threats has emerged in the current case.

Investigations in all these cases are still ongoing.
