Overview
- Multiple schools, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and the mayor’s office received bomb-threat emails on Monday that prompted immediate evacuations and anti-sabotage searches.
- Police, bomb disposal teams, K9 units and fire services carried out thorough checks and reported no explosives or suspicious objects at the sites so far.
- Investigators have opened probes to trace the origin of the messages and officers say the emails were reportedly sent from the same Gmail account, identified in initial reports as “larry obanion.”
- School officials notified parents that students were moved out safely and authorities urged calm while searches and inquiries continue.
- Officials say these incidents follow a months-long pattern of hoax threats and come after a recent inspection drive that found safety shortcomings in hundreds of Delhi schools, increasing pressure for prompt remediation and firmer legal action.
