Bomb Threat Emails Target Three Delhi Schools – No Explosives Found

Delhi schools get bomb threat emails; fire, police and bomb squads sweep premises, find nothing suspicious

Three Delhi schools received bomb threat emails on Friday, prompting evacuations and extensive searches by fire, police and bomb‑disposal teams. No suspicious object has been uncovered so far.

On Friday morning, three schools in Delhi – Sardar Patel Vidyalaya in Lodi Estate, Venkateshwar Global School in Rohini and Salwan Public School in Mayur Vihar – were hit with alarming emails that claimed a bomb had been planted on their campuses.

As soon as the messages reached the administrations, the schools acted quickly, informing the Delhi Fire Service and local police. Within minutes, fire‑brigade crews arrived, evacuated classrooms and corridors, and began a systematic sweep of the grounds.

The response was massive: bomb‑disposal squads, specially trained sniffer dogs, police officers and fire‑service personnel all converged on the sites. Their aim was clear – locate any suspicious package before panic could turn into tragedy.

Hours of meticulous searching later, officials reported that no explosive device or any other dangerous object was found in any of the three schools. The teams are now focusing on tracing the origin of the threatening emails, treating the incident as a serious security breach.

While the immediate danger appears to have been a false alarm, authorities stress that the precautionary steps taken were essential. “We cannot take any chances when it comes to the safety of students and staff,” a senior fire‑service officer said.

Investigations are ongoing, with cyber‑crime units analyzing the email headers to pinpoint the sender. Parents have been reassured that the schools remain safe, and that the authorities are committed to preventing any such incidents in the future.
