Six Delhi Schools Receive Bomb Threats, Third Incident in Just Four Days
Delhi’s education sector is facing a wave of panic as six schools reported bomb threats on Thursday morning, marking the third such incident within a span of four days. The threatening emails, sent during early school hours, immediately triggered police deployment, bomb disposal squads, and fire services across multiple campuses in the city. Though earlier threats this week had turned out to be hoaxes, the repeated occurrences have left parents, teachers, and students deeply unsettled. Authorities are now treating the matter with high priority, tightening surveillance and urging schools to remain vigilant until the culprits are traced.
Parents Demand Stronger Security Amid Growing Cyber Threats
The spate of bomb threats has also reignited debate over digital security and school preparedness in India’s capital. Experts suggest that the use of anonymous email servers and VPNs is making it harder to track the origin of these hoaxes, highlighting a rising challenge in cybercrime investigations. Parents, meanwhile, are demanding stronger safety drills, faster emergency response mechanisms, and stricter cyber monitoring to ensure children are protected from both physical and psychological distress. While police investigations continue, the repeated hoax alerts have underscored the urgent need for a long-term strategy to handle digital-age security threats in schools.
