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.

Adequate LPG stock in Chhattisgarh, no need to panic, says CM Sai
Raipur (PTI): Amid reports of shortage of commercial LPG cylinder in several parts of the country due to the US-Israel-Iran conflict, Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Tuesday assured people that they need not worry about the availability of cooking gas in the state.
He asserted that adequate stock of LPG as well as petrol and diesel was available in the state.
Sai said in a statement that authorities have been directed to regularly monitor stock at gas agencies and keep a close watch on the supply chain. Necessary instructions were issued to officials in all districts to ensure a smooth supply of LPG.
The chief minister instructed officials to take strict action if any complaint of black marketing or hoarding of LPG cylinders is received.
Sai urged state residents not to pay attention to rumours and to book cooking gas cylinders as per their actual requirement.
The government was fully alert to ensure the availability of essential commodities to citizens, he emphasised.
Meanwhile, the Chhattisgarh Hotel and Restaurant Association has issued an advisory to hotels, restaurants, caterers and other food businesses across the state, urging them to maintain calm and avoid panic buying.
In the advisory, Taranjeet Singh Hora, president of the association, asked members to maintain coordination and immediately inform it about any major disruption in LPG supply.
He cautioned businesses against hoarding cylinders, saying such practices could worsen the situation for the entire hospitality sector.
The association advised hotels and restaurants to prioritise essential kitchen operations, core menu items and already committed banquet events.
Use electric cooking equipment wherever possible for emergency and staff kitchens such as induction cooktops, electric hot plates, electric rice cookers and kettles, the advisory stated.
