NEW DELHI: Delhi Police on Sunday said that an email warning of a bomb threat was received by the city’s airport, several schools and other institutions.
Authorities confirmed that an investigation has been initiated to verify the credibility of the threat, according to news agency ANI.
Earlier in the day, two schools in the national capital CRPF Public School in Dwarka and a Sarvodaya Vidyalaya near Qutub Minar had received similar emails. Fire officials later confirmed that these threats were hoaxes.
“Police teams, fire personnel, and bomb disposal squads were promptly deployed to the affected schools to carry out thorough searches. However, no suspicious object was found,” a Delhi Fire Services official said.
