A coordinated wave of bomb threats struck nine educational institutions across India’s capital on Monday morning, triggering massive security responses and widespread alarm. Between 8:30 AM and 9:00 AM local time, multiple schools in Delhi received threatening emails, prompting immediate deployment of Delhi Police, fire department teams, and specialized bomb disposal squads to all affected locations.
The targeted institutions spanned various districts of the capital, including three schools in South Delhi—Air Force School on Lodhi Road, KR Mangalam School, and The Indian School in Sadiq Nagar. Additional schools receiving threats were identified as Loreto Convent School in Delhi Cantt, Cambridge School in Srinivasanpuri, Venkateshwar School in Rohini, Cambridge School in New Friends Colony, CM School in Rohini, DTA School in INA, and Bal Bharati School in Rohini.
Security personnel conducted thorough sweeps of all premises while authorities maintained high alert status. This incident follows a similar pattern of threats that occurred on January 28 in the Union Territory of Chandigarh, where 30 schools received bomb threat emails. In that previous case, comprehensive inspections revealed no suspicious materials, but authorities implemented enhanced security measures and filed formal charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Information Technology Act.
The recurrence of such threats within weeks has raised serious concerns about the security of educational institutions and the potential psychological impact on students and staff. Investigations are ongoing to determine the origin and credibility of the threats, with authorities working to identify those responsible for disrupting educational activities and causing public safety concerns.
