Students of a south Delhi school were evacuated on Wednesday after the school received a bomb threat via email, reported NDTV.
According to police, an email was sent to Indian Public School in Sadiq Nagar at 10:49 am, claiming that a bomb has been planted on its premises. The school was evacuated as a precaution, they added.
Videos from outside the school show a large crowd, mostly parents of the students, assembled at the gate. “We received a message from the school asking us to take our children home,” one of the parents said.
“This is not the first time the school admin received a bomb threat. Last year in November, the admin received a similar email from an unknown sender. That was a hoax email. Our teams are at the spot with Bomb Disposal Squad and dog squad,” senior police officer Chandan Chowdhary told news agency ANI.
As per the report, a search is underway at the school. So far, nothing suspicious has been found.
