Fresh Bomb Threat Emails to Delhi Schools Declared Hoax After Security Sweeps

Investigators now pursue the sources of the hoax emails through a cyber probe into suspected VPN routes.

Overview

  • At least five schools received threatening emails on Friday, including DTEA Pusa Road, Kendriya Vidyalaya Gole Market, Happy Public School Daryaganj, Rabea Public School Ballimaran, and CL Bhalla DAV Jhandewalan.
  • Delhi Police, fire services, and bomb squads evacuated campuses and conducted searches, with no suspicious items found.
  • Emergency calls were logged starting around 9:12–9:13 am, with additional alerts at 9:59 am, 11:07 am, 11:08 am, and 1:39 pm, officials said.
  • The messages carried incendiary claims about blasts at 1:11 pm in schools and at 2:11 pm inside Parliament, prompting heightened checks at sensitive locations.
  • Friday’s scare follows earlier hoax emails to more than a dozen Delhi schools this week and similar threats in Chandigarh and Mohali, with police noting similar content, Punjabi text, and likely VPN masking; prior emails referenced Khalistan and were linked to a username identified as “zachary jenkins.”
