“The emails were sent in a very sophisticated manner, including the use of VPNs. Hence, we had difficulties in tracing the emails," Tiwari said.
“We suspected an anti-national or sabotage angle. When we did the profiling of the family of the juvenile as part of the investigation, we found that one of his parents is connected to an organisation with deep connections to an NGO. As per our preliminary info, it was found that the NGO has deep connections to a particular political party," the officer added.

The juvenile sent the emails of bomb threats to around 23 schools on Thursday (Jan 9). Since the emails were sent using Gmail, it was easier for the authorities to track the sender. The arrested student confessed that other students were also involved in sending the emails using a VPN (virtual private network).
The revelation came after Delhi CM Atishi and former Dy CM Manish Sisodia slammed the police and central government for repeated bomb threats in schools of the national capital.
