Overview

  • Delhi Police, fire services, and bomb disposal teams searched multiple campuses for hours and found no explosives.
  • Roughly 300 schools reported receiving the same threat on Saturday, prompting evacuations across the city.
  • DPS Dwarka closed for the day and postponed mid‑term examinations after receiving a threat.
  • Police said the email claimed to be from "4zurf" of a group calling itself "terrorizers 111" and warned of bombs with a 24‑hour deadline.
  • Cyber units are examining the origin and coordination of the mass email as Arvind Kejriwal criticized the government for failing to identify the senders.
