On Friday, at least six schools in Delhi, including Delhi Public School in East of Kailash, Salwan School, Modern School, and Cambridge School, received bomb threats via email. This marks the second such incident this week, following a similar scare on December 9 when over 40 schools in the city received similar threats. The emails claimed that explosives had been planted within the school premises, warning of potential bomb blasts on December 13 and 14, particularly targeting schools with scheduled parent-teacher meetings.

The bomb threat email mentioned a "secret dark web" group and stated that the bombs were powerful enough to cause severe damage. The sender also demanded a reply to the email to communicate their demands. In response, the schools sent students home for safety and urged guardians not to send their children to school.

The police, along with bomb detection teams, fire department, and dog squads, have conducted checks at the affected schools. Delhi Police is also tracing the sender through the IP address. While no suspicious devices have been found so far, the incident has caused considerable concern. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed his worry, emphasizing the serious impact such threats could have on the students' well-being and studies.

Previously, on December 9, a similar bomb threat email was sent to more than 40 schools, which was later determined to be a hoax. The email at the time demanded a ransom of $30,000 to prevent explosions. No damage was reported, and no bombs were found in that case either.
