Today’s threats come on the heels of similar hoax emails sent on Monday and Tuesday, bringing the total number of affected institutions to 11 since July 15.
On Tuesday, St. Thomas School (Dwarka) and St. Stephen’s College (Delhi University) received threatening emails. Both campuses were cleared as a precaution, and bomb squads carried out thorough inspections. Nothing suspicious was found.
On Monday, three schools Navy School (Chanakyapuri), CRPF School (Dwarka), and one school in Rohini received bomb threat emails. Similar emergency protocols were followed, and all were declared false alarms after inspections.
