Overview
- Multiple schools received threat emails, with six in Barnala and several in Chandigarh, and one message also naming the Secretariat, Chandigarh airport, and Air India flights.
- Police rushed bomb disposal units, dog squads, and anti-sabotage teams, with ambulances and fire crews positioned as part of standard protocol.
- Officials said searches at the schools found nothing suspicious after detailed checks across buildings and grounds.
- In Barnala, the district police posted forces outside schools as a precaution after the six emails were flagged.
- Investigators opened a cyber probe to trace the sender by analyzing email headers and IP logs, a step taken after similar hoax emails disrupted schools in recent weeks across Punjab and Haryana.
