Previous incidents of the bomb threat

A bomb threat was sent by mail to Indian Public School in the capital barely two weeks before. According to the Delhi Police, bomb threat was sent through an e-mail to the Indian School in Sadiq Nagar. The school has been shut down out of caution. The Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad has been notified.

It turned out to be a hoax call because, according to DCP Chandan Chaudhary, BDS, BDT, and SWAT units immediately checked the school’s grounds after the building was evacuated. An individual informed the authorities about the email, according to a senior police official.
