Overview

  • Threat messages reached Delhi colleges on Wednesday, including Jesus and Mary, Aryabhatta and Motilal Nehru Colleges, according to police and fire officials.
  • The emails referenced “high power explosives” and “students deserve freedom,” a police source said.
  • Bomb Detection Team and Bomb Disposal Squad units conducted checks and found no explosives or suspicious items.
  • Officials described this as the first such round of threats this week after more than 100 schools received similar hoaxes last week.
  • Investigations are ongoing, and many mass emails routed through foreign VPNs in earlier cases remain unsolved as police urge calm.
