Hoax Bomb Emails Hit Hundreds of Delhi Schools and Multiple Airports, Mumbai Dadar Gets False Call

Searches found nothing at targeted sites, prompting cyber probes to identify senders who masked their routes through anonymized services.

Overview

  • More than 300 school and institution inboxes in Delhi received a mass email around 6:08 a.m., with copies also sent to IGI Airport and other airports, signed by a sender calling itself 'Terrorizers111'.
  • The email threatened that bombs were placed and warned of a 24-hour deadline, but Delhi Fire Services reported thorough checks at CRPF Public School, Sarvodaya Vidyalaya and other locations turned up nothing.
  • At Delhi’s IGI Airport the threat was assessed as non-specific and operations continued unaffected as police opened cases and began forensic analysis of the messages.
  • Jammu Airport conducted a full anti-sabotage drill after a private airline received the email and declared it a hoax; reports also cited Amritsar among airports named in the mailing.
  • Mumbai’s Shivaji Park police received a bomb call for Dadar railway station that was later deemed a hoax, with a case registered and efforts underway to trace the caller.
