Sixteen schools in Delhi were thrown into chaos after receiving bomb threats via email on June 18, 2024. The threats led to swift evacuations and the deployment of bomb disposal squads, police, and fire services to secure the premises. Many students and staff were sent home early as authorities investigated the threats, which were later declared hoaxes.
The email, sent early in the morning, caused widespread anxiety among parents and students. The police are tracing the origin of the email and have assured that safety protocols are being rigorously followed. Investigations are underway to identify those responsible for this disruptive act. This incident comes just months after similar threats were issued to schools in Delhi in April, indicating a troubling pattern of malicious hoaxes impacting educational institutions.
Authorities have urged calm while emphasizing their commitment to ensuring school safety and taking strict action against the perpetrators. No explosive devices were found in any of the schools targeted during the incident.
