A bomb threat was reported at Richmondd Global School in Paschim Vihar, prompting an immediate response from the Delhi Police and Fire Department.
Another threat was also received by Abhinav Public School in Rohini Sector 3. Authorities are currently investigating both incidents.
Earlier also, at least five schools in Delhi received bomb threat emails on Wednesday morning—the third such instance in as many days, according to the police.
While all the emails were later declared hoaxes, authorities carried out thorough searches as a precautionary measure under the standard security protocol.
The threatening emails claimed that explosive devices had been planted on school premises. Schools that received the emails on Wednesday included St. Thomas School in Dwarka, Vasant Valley School in Vasant Kunj, Mother’s International School in Hauz Khas, Richmond Global School in Paschim Vihar, and Sardar Patel Vidyalaya in Lodi Estate, according to Delhi Police.
Notably, St. Thomas School received similar threat emails on both Tuesday and Wednesday.
Emergency response teams—including personnel from the Delhi Fire Service, local police, and bomb detection and disposal units—were dispatched to the schools. Students who had arrived were evacuated and moved outside the campus gates, while their parents were promptly informed.
Statement From Police On Earlier Threats
‘We received alerts from the schools early in the morning regarding the emails,’ said a senior police officer. ‘Teams from the bomb squad and the special cell were immediately deployed. So far, nothing suspicious has been found. We’ve ensured all parents and school staff were kept informed.’
The mail read, “Explosive devices are hidden inside backpacks and placed around the classrooms of the school. This is extremely serious. You will all pay for your sins. Roadkill and Benji are the persons responsible for this bloodbath. Release our names to the press/media.”
