Overview

  • SKV Hauz Rani in Malviya Nagar and Andhra School in Karol Bagh’s Prasad Nagar reported threat emails around 7:40 a.m., prompting evacuations and on-site searches.
  • The alerts follow Monday’s wave in which at least 32 schools, largely in Dwarka, received emails and were swept by police and bomb squads before being declared hoaxes.
  • DPS Dwarka closed for the day on Monday and sent students home after a threat, while other campuses resumed operations after all-clear declarations.
  • Police say some emails used the name “The Terrorizers 111 Group” and warned of pipe bombs, alleged IT system hacks, and a $5,000 crypto demand within 72 hours.
  • Cyber-forensic teams are analyzing headers and coordinating with service providers as cases mount to roughly 70–74 institutions this year, with past probes ranging from pranksters — including a 12-year-old — to possible extortion attempts.
