Noida schools get bomb threat emails during CBSE exams; police say all hoax

Several schools in Noida received bomb threat emails on Thursday while the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) examinations were underway, police said, adding that the threats were all declared as hoax.

School authorities said that the management alerted the police after receiving the threat emails on their official email IDs.

“Multiple schools received bomb threat mails in Gautam Buddha Nagar district on Thursday. Following the information about the threat emails, multiple teams were dispatched and extensive searches in all schools were conducted,” said Additional Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) Rajeev Narain Mishra, Gautam Buddha Nagar.

“Nothing suspicious has been found and prima facie the emails fall in the hoax category. However, our cyber team is checking from where the emails were generated,” he added.
