Six Delhi schools receive bomb threats, third such incident in four days

At least six schools in the national capital received bomb threats on Thursday through e-mail, prompting police and other emergency agencies to launch a search operation, an official of the Delhi Fire Services said.

Calls regarding the bomb threat were received between 6.35 AM and 7.48 AM in six schools in the capital. These include Andhra school in Prasad Nagar, BGS International School, Rao Man Singh School, Convent School, Max Fort School and Indraprastha International School, Dwarka, officials said.

Police teams, along with fire personnel and bomb disposal squads, rushed to the premises immediately.

This is the third such incident in four days when schools have received bomb threats. On Monday, 32 schools across Delhi received similar threats, which later turned out to be hoaxes.

On Wednesday, around 50 schools in the national capital received bomb threats again through e-mail, which were later declared ‘hoax’.

In the mail, which was sent to schools on Tuesday night, the group demanded 2,000 Dollars in cryptocurrency.

“We are the Terrorizers 111 group. We have planted explosives inside your building, and others across the city. Devices include high-yield C4 bombs and timed charges placed in classrooms, auditoriums, staff rooms, and school buses, designed to cause maximum casualties. We have breached your IT systems, extracted student and staff data, and compromised all security cameras,” the threatening mail read.

The mail also demanded the transfer of money to an Ethereum address, or within 48 hours, the bombs would be detonated.

“Evacuate all schools and suspend operations immediately to avoid loss of life. Any attempt to contact authorities will trigger immediate detonation and public release of your sensitive data. Terrorizers 111 Group does not forgive or forget. Payment is your only option to prevent disaster. Act now,” the mail said further.
