Class IX student sends fake bomb threat email to school, causes panic in Ludhiana
Ludhiana: A Class IX student from Dhandra village, Ludhiana, in collaboration with an online friend from Bihar, sent a fake bomb threat email to his school, leading to the closure of the institution for a day.
The email, which was sent to the school’s principal on Thursday, claimed that a bomb had been planted on the premises and would explode on October 5. The principal immediately informed the school management, local residents, and the police.
Following the alert, the police deployed a bomb squad to search the school premises, while a PCR team was stationed at the location for security. Despite the thorough search, no explosives were found.
The police investigation traced the IP address used to send the email, eventually identifying the sender as a 15-year-old student of the same school. During questioning in the presence of his parents, the boy confessed that the email was part of a prank planned with his online friend. He revealed that they intended to get the school closed for a day and meant no real harm.
Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) South, Harjinder Singh, stated that the minor student admitted to his actions. Considering his age and the fact that no real threat was posed, the school authorities decided not to pursue legal action against the boy.

Narsinghanand's remarks against Prophet Muhammad: Mayawati seeks strict legal action
Lucknow: BSP chief Mayawati on Sunday criticised priest Yati Narsinghanand for his alleged hate speech and demanded that the Centre and state government should take strict action against him.
"In Ghaziabad, UP, the Mahant of Dasna Devi Temple once again made hate speeches against Islam, which has created unrest and tension in the entire area and many parts of the country. The police took action against the protesters, but the main culprits remained unpunished," the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister said in a post on X.
1. यूपी के गाजियाबाद में डासना देवी मन्दिर के महंत द्वारा इस्लाम मज़हब के खिलाफ फिर से नफरती बयानबाजी की गयी जिससे उस पूरे इलाके में तथा देश के कई हिस्सों में भी अशान्ति व तनाव की स्थिति उत्पन्न है। पुलिस द्वारा प्रदर्शनकारियों के खिलाफ तो कार्रवाई की गयी किन्तु मूल दोषी भयमुक्त।

"While the Indian Constitution guarantees secularism, that is, equal respect for all religions. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the central and state governments to take strict legal action against those who violate it so that there is peace in the country and development is not hindered," she said in another post.
Narsinghanand has been booked for hate speech after he allegedly made objectionable remarks against Prophet Muhammad that sparked protests in Ghaziabad and other states.
A large crowd had gathered outside the Dasna Devi temple in the district where he presides to protest against him on Friday night after videos of his inflammatory remarks appeared online following which security was stepped up around the premises.
Narsinghanand has several cases against him, including for allegedly making a hate speech at a conclave in Haridwar in December 2021, and was out on bail.
An FIR had been lodged against 150 people on the complaint of Sub-Inspector Bhanu, the in-charge of Dasna police outpost, at the Wave City police station over the protest outside the Dasna temple on Friday.
An FIR was registered against the priest in Maharashtra's Amravati city on Saturday, which saw violent protests against his remarks outside the Nagpuri Gate police station in which 21 police personnel were injured and 10 police vans were damaged during stone pelting by a mob on Friday night, according to officials.
A case under BNS sections 299 (deliberate and malicious acts, intended to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion or religious beliefs), 302 (intentionally uttering words to deliberately wound the religious sentiments of another person), 197 (actions that harm national integration) and others was registered against Narsinghanand at the Nagpuri Gate police station over his alleged objectionable remarks, the police said.
