A multi-agency search conducted after around 40 Delhi schools received an e-mail warning about a bomb being planted in the schools turned out to be a hoax with nothing suspicious found, reports said.
The threat was sent in a single e-mail marked to the some of the city’s prominent schools including DPS RK Puram; GD Goenka, Paschim Vihar; The British School, Chanakyapuri; The Mother’s International, Aurobindo Marg; Modern School, Mandi House; DPS Vasant Kunj; Delhi Police Public School, Safdarjung; DPS East of Kailash and Salwan Public Schools, a report by news agency PTI stated.
The e-mail was sent from an e-mail ID [email protected] and was delivered at 11.38 pm on Sunday.
“I planted multiple bombs inside the building. The bombs are small and hidden very well. It will not cause very much damage to the building, but many people will be injured when the bombs detonate,” the e-mail read, as the sender demanded $30,000 to refrain from subversive acts.
“You all deserve to suffer and lose limbs. If I do not receive $30,000. The group =E2=80=9CKNR=E2=80=9D is behind this attack,” the sender further wrote in the e-mail.
After the schools received the threat mail, authorities went into a tizzy and a multi-agency search was carried out.
Most of the schools suspended classes and students were sent back home.
After a thorough search was carried out, nothing suspiscious was, however, recovered.
