New Delhi: Over 40 schools across Delhi received bomb threats on Monday, prompting authorities to evacuate students as a precautionary measure.
Among the schools targeted were DPS RK Puram and GD Goenka School in Paschim Vihar. According to police sources, GD Goenka School was the first to receive the threat, which arrived via email at 6:15 am, followed by DPS RK Puram at 7:06 am.
The threatening email, cited by NDTV, read: “The bombs are small and hidden very well. It will not cause very much damage to the building, but many people will be injured when the bombs detonate. You all deserve to suffer and lose limbs.”
In response, police, fire officials, and bomb detection units were quickly deployed to the affected schools. Delhi Police PRO Sanjay Tyagi confirmed that teams had immediately reached the locations after receiving the email alerts. He assured the public that the safety of students and staff was the top priority and that all necessary precautions were being taken.
“The source of the email is currently under investigation,” Tyagi added. “We are committed to ensuring the security of our educational institutions and will take appropriate action against those responsible.”
Authorities are continuing to investigate the source of the bomb threats and are monitoring the situation closely.
