Security personnel keep vigil outside DPS RK Puram after it received bomb threat, in New Delhi
At least three schools in New Delhi received bomb threat emails Saturday morning (Dec 14), third time in a week. The emails prompted authorities to launch searches on the premises. So far, dozens of schools in the Indian capital have received similar threat emails over the last week but later they turned out be hoax.
A Delhi Fire Services official was quoted as saying in media, “We received calls (regarding the threat emails) from Bhatnagar International School in Paschim Vihar (4:21 am), Cambridge School in Shri Niwas Puri (6:23 am) and DPS Amar Colony in East of Kailash (6:35 am).”
The official added that teams from fire department, police and bomb detection squads were rushed to the scene.
The school authorities earlier asked parents not to send their wards to classes.
Earlier on Friday, six Delhi schools received bomb threat emails.
