Hoax Bomb Emails Hit Delhi Schools and IGI, Jammu Airport Drill Finds Nothing

Investigators now focus on tracing anonymous senders using cyber-forensics.

Overview

  • CRPF Public School in Dwarka and a Sarvodaya Vidyalaya near Qutub Minar received threat emails that were declared hoaxes after full searches.
  • Delhi Police, fire services and bomb disposal units conducted evacuations and checks at the schools, with nothing suspicious recovered.
  • Indira Gandhi International Airport received a non-specific email around 6 a.m., operations continued normally and a police probe is underway.
  • Jammu Airport executed a full anti-sabotage drill after a private airliner reported an email threat; CISF and police found no explosives and flights were unaffected.
  • An Airport Authority of India official said a police complaint was filed in the Jammu case, as authorities note the alerts continue a wider pattern of hoax emails targeting institutions.
