Overview

  • Delhi Public School (DPS) Dwarka, Modern Convent School and ShreeRam World School received bomb-threat emails via a Gmail ID and were evacuated on Monday morning.
  • Police teams, bomb disposal squads, Delhi Fire Service units and dog squads conducted thorough searches before declaring the campuses safe.
  • DPS Dwarka remained closed for the day and issued a circular instructing parents to collect students and manage transport arrangements.
  • Cyber-forensic divisions are analyzing email headers and coordinating with service providers to pinpoint the messages’ source.
  • Investigators warn that VPNs, proxy servers and foreign-hosted services routinely mask IP addresses, complicating efforts to attribute the threats.
