Hoax Bomb Email Wave Hits Schools in Delhi, Chandigarh and Gurugram

Investigators are probing cross-border routing of the threat emails.

Overview

  • Delhi evacuated at least eight prominent schools on Thursday after email threats, which police declared hoaxes following security sweeps.
  • Chandigarh reported 26–30 schools receiving emails around 8 a.m. on Wednesday, with anti-sabotage checks finding nothing and an FIR registered at Sector 17 police station.
  • Gurugram saw about 13 private schools hit by threats around 7:08 a.m. on Wednesday, later deemed hoaxes, as cyber teams said the emails were routed via U.S. servers and a case was filed under BNS cyber‑terror provisions.
  • The Dwarka court complex in Delhi was evacuated on Wednesday after a threat email and was declared safe after searches found no suspicious items.
  • Authorities issued advisories for schools to follow SOPs and avoid unverified holiday declarations, as classes and exams were suspended, buses halted, and police deployments around campuses were increased.
