Overview
- At least 18 schools in Noida received threat emails during CBSE exams, prompting evacuations and searches that police later said found nothing suspicious and appeared to be hoaxes.
- Three Delhi schools reported similar emails, leading to swift evacuations and bomb‑squad sweeps before officials declared the threats false.
- The Punjab Secretariat and Chandigarh district courts were cleared after timed threat emails that referenced Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, with police citing VPN routing and decade‑old email IDs in preliminary technical findings.
- Courts in Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and Telangana also received threat emails this week, including a repeat alert to Hyderabad’s CBI court, and all sites were evacuated and searched with no explosives found.
- Police and cyber teams have opened cases and are tracing server trails, with Punjab’s DGP noting some hoax‑email servers were traced to Bangladesh, while earlier arrests in Greater Noida linked a prior series of school threats to an alleged online betting racket.
