Delhi: Two CRPF-run schools in the national capital received bomb threats on Tuesday morning after an unidentified man called the Police Control Room (PCR) claiming that explosives had been planted on the premises, officials said.

The call, made around 9 AM, warned that bombs were placed in the CRPF schools located in Prashant Vihar and Dwarka, prompting immediate mobilisation of local police, bomb disposal squads and the Delhi Fire Services.

“After receiving the call, teams were rushed to both locations and the school buildings were evacuated as a precaution,” a senior police officer said.

He said the caller’s phone switched off soon after the threat was issued, and attempts to trace him are ongoing.

Police are analysing call records and technical details to identify the caller and ascertain the motive behind the hoax threat, the officer added.

No injuries or damage were reported.
