Indian School evacuated after bomb threat

“The local police were informed which reacted promptly. A bomb disposal squad along with the staff of Defence Colony police station reached the spot. The school was evacuated and a thorough search has been made. But no bomb was found. Meanwhile, the email is also being verified by the cyber team,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Chandan Choudhary.

According to Joshi, at the time that the email was received, most of the students were already on their way out of the school.

“The students of the morning session were already moving out so we did not face any issues there. There are over 400 students in the second session,” Joshi said.

“As instructed by police, we moved them towards the basketball court and started calling their parents. We also sent a message to all parents explaining to them what happened and telling them that all is safe. We will be back to business as usual from tomorrow,” Joshi added.
