Russian Domain Used To Send Bomb Hoax Email To 100 Delhi Schools
Several schools in New Delhi and the National Capital Region received bomb threats via email, prompting early dismissals and extensive police search operations.
Today in New Delhi, the morning calm was shattered for nearly 100 schools in the National Capital Region as they were forced to take swift and decisive action in response to bomb threats received via email. This alarming development prompted school authorities to take immediate steps to ensure the safety of their students, leading to early dismissals and widespread disruption. The Delhi Police, upon receiving reports of the threats, swiftly mobilized to conduct thorough search operations across the affected schools. Despite the intensive efforts of the police and other security agencies, no evidence of any explosive devices or suspicious items was found. This led the Home Ministry to categorize the threats as a hoax, providing some relief to the anxious parents and school staff. Delhi's Lieutenant Governor, VK Saxena, addressed the media regarding the incident, revealing that the police had successfully traced the origin of the threatening emails. According to reports, a single IP address was used to send the hoax emails to the targeted schools. Interestingly, the email addresses used in the threats were linked to a Russian domain, raising concerns about the potential international connections of the perpetrators. However, it remains unconfirmed whether the emails originated from Russia.
In response to the unfolding situation, schools such as Sanskriti School in Chanakyapuri, Mother Mary School in Mayur Vihar, and Delhi Public School in Dwarka took immediate action to evacuate their premises. Mother Mary School, in particular, was conducting an exam when the threats were received, forcing the school to declare an emergency and evacuate the students and staff. The management of Delhi Public School also swiftly communicated with parents, informing them of the situation and the decision to send students home as a precautionary measure. This proactive approach was echoed by other schools, which also opted for early dismissals to ensure the safety and well-being of their students. The evacuation process was not without its challenges, as concerned parents rushed to the schools to pick up their children. Visuals from the scene captured the anxiety and tension as parents anxiously waited for updates on the situation.
The presence of bomb detection teams, bomb disposal squads, and officials from the Delhi Fire Service added to the sense of urgency and seriousness of the threats. Despite the disruptions caused by the threats, Delhi's Education Minister, Atishi, sought to reassure the public, stating that no suspicious items had been found in any of the schools. In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Atishi urged parents and citizens not to panic and assured them that the authorities were taking all necessary steps to ensure the safety of the students.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by educational institutions in ensuring the safety and security of their students in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. The swift and coordinated response of the authorities and the schools themselves highlights the importance of preparedness and vigilance in responding to such threats. As the investigation into the origin of the threats continues, it is hoped that the perpetrators will be swiftly identified and brought to justice. In the meantime, the incident serves as a sobering reminder of the need for constant vigilance and preparedness in ensuring the safety of our schools and communities.
