Delhi Police informed that over 50 schools have received bomb threats via email in the early hours of Wednesday. Earlier, two schools in Malviya Nagar and Prasad Nagar in Karol Bagh also received a bomb threat, with a fire tender being dispatched in the area. Although the previous two bomb threats turned out to be hoaxes.
A group identifying itself as ‘Terrorisers 111’ sent an email to various schools, including DAV public schools, Faith Academy, Doon Public School, Sarvodhaya Vidyalaya, and others, demanding USD 25,000. The same group had allegedly demanded USD 5,000 in cryptocurrency after sending various bomb threats on August 18, Delhi Police said.
