Six Delhi schools get bomb threat, third incident this week
New Delhi (PTI): At least six Delhi schools received a bomb threat on Saturday, officials said, marking the third instance of threat emails being sent to schools in the national capital this week.
"We received a call about a bomb threat at Delhi Public School, RK Puram, at 6:09 am," a Delhi Fire Services official said.
The fire department, local police, dog squads and bomb detection teams reached the school and launched a search operation, the official said.
Five more schools, including Ryan International School in Vasant Kunj and Gyan Bharati School in Saket, received the same email from the same sender, he further said.
A police official said nothing suspicious was found after search and inspection in any of the schools.
The mails were sent from the "childrenofallah@outlook.com" email id at 1:47 am.
According to a source, the email read, "Allah sees your efforts to resist his punishment. But they are futile. For no mortal being can escape the judgement of Allah. The Prophet Muhammad declares all who go against Allah enemies to the world. We see your attempt to stop us. It will not work. The Prophet Muhammad has allowed the children to burn in the sacred flame of Allah."
"On Saturday where students may not be there in your buildings is when the buildings shall be brought down. Our bomb vests are blessed by the Prophet Muhammad. They shall not fail their goal. Our children are brave servants of Allah. They shall complete their task," the source said quoting the email.
On Friday, about 30 schools received bomb threats over email, triggering a multi-agency search of their premises. Prior to that, at least 44 schools received similar emails on Monday.
The police had declared those threats as hoaxes after nothing suspicious was found during searches.

230 Indians, including 170 Gujaratis, stranded in UAE over illegal US entry scheme
Sharjah: A failed attempt to enter the United States illegally has left 230 Indians, including 170 Gujaratis, stranded in Sharjah, UAE. The group, comprising families, was lured by agents promising a chartered flight from Dubai to Brazil, followed by a land crossing into the US through Mexico.
Sources revealed that the operation, orchestrated by several agents, was disrupted, leaving the hopeful migrants in limbo. The stranded individuals, which include around 60 people from Delhi and Punjab, are currently staying at the Dana Hotel in Sharjah.
Among the agents implicated are Sameer, Dhaval, and Hasmukh, the latter reportedly a financier based in Dubai. Other agents referred to as Paji, Thakur Saheb, and RK are also under investigation for coordinating the operation.
According to sources, the agents collected ₹3 crore in advance to book a chartered flight, initially scheduled to depart Dubai on December 11 but postponed to December 20 due to concerns over border conditions between Mexico and the US. Despite delays and lack of flight route details, the agents assured the passengers they would reach the US before President-elect Donald Trump assumes office.
The issue follows a similar incident on December 26, 2023, when a chartered flight carrying suspected illegal immigrants from India was intercepted at France's Vatry Airport. The passengers were sent back to Mumbai.
Illegal immigration agents have allegedly been using various routes, including charter flights from Dubai, Uzbekistan, and Libya, to facilitate such operations. However, increased international crackdowns have led to disruptions, stranding many migrants in Dubai.
