Overview

  • On Friday morning a Delhi school reported a fresh bomb threat email at about 7 a.m., triggering new search operations by police and fire services.
  • Six schools across Dwarka, Najafgarh and Prasad Nagar received similar emails on Thursday, leading to evacuations and thorough checks that yielded no suspicious items.
  • Authorities said nearly 50 schools were targeted on Wednesday and 32 on Monday, with near-identical messages claiming planted C4 devices and warnings of blasts within 48 hours.
  • Threat emails attributed to a group styling itself as “Terrorizers 111” demanded $2,000 in Ethereum, with investigators noting the use of VPNs and cyber units including IFSO working to trace the origin.
  • Comparable hoax threats were reported this week at the Punjab and Haryana High Court and the Gujarat High Court, and on Thursday at Mumbai’s Four Seasons Hotel and Kerala collectorates, all prompting searches that found nothing.
