A day after an explosion occurred outside a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) school in Delhi sending shock waves across the capital, some CRPF schools received bomb threats on Tuesday.
Some schools across the country received an email threatening that they would be bombed, sources said. CRPF schools in Rohini and Dwarka were among the schools to get the threat.
These emails were sent on Monday night, threatening explosions at all CRPF schools by 11 am on Tuesday leaving schools in a state of panic. An investigation commenced immediately, and the threat was assessed to be a hoax.
It may be recollected that an explosion had ripped through the wall of the school in Rohini’s Prashant Vihar on Sunday morning causing damage to the property and vehicles parked nearby. No injuries were reported.
The explosion is being investigated by the National Investigation Agency, the CRPF and the National Security Guard. A case has also been registered by the Delhi police.
The hoax threat against CRPF schools comes at a time when similar threats have been issued against over 100 flights since October 14. Reports said 30 flights received such threats on Monday night and another 10 on Tuesday.
