Hoax Bomb Emails Hit Gurugram Schools as Police Sweep Campuses and Open Cyber Probe

A hoax finding shifts the case to a cyber probe under tough anti-terror provisions.

Overview

  • Several private schools in Gurugram received bomb threat emails Wednesday morning, which led administrators to evacuate students and call police.
  • Police sent bomb squads and sniffer dogs to multiple campuses, and by midday officers said no devices were found and labeled the emails hoaxes.
  • Targets named in reports included Heritage Xperiential Learning School in Sector 62, DPS in Sector 45, Shiv Nadar School, Pathways World School, and other private institutions.
  • The alerts disrupted routines as schools declared holidays, parents rushed to pick up children, and some Grade XII practical exams were postponed.
  • The Cyber Cell is tracing email IP addresses under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, and this marks the third such hoax wave since January after earlier incidents in January and March.
