A bomb threat triggered panic in at least 11 schools in Jalandhar on Monday, prompting the authorities to evacuate students and launch anti-sabotage actions. Nothing suspicious has been found so far, a police officer said.
"We were told that there had been some fault in electricity and we were asked to pick up our children from the school," a parent told the media.
ACP (North) Sanjay Kumar, who was at KMV School, said, "A threat was received on the school principal's email that the building would be blown up." He said the police searched the school premises immediately after the information was received. "An anti-sabotage team carried out a check in the premises, but nothing suspicious has been found so far," Kumar said. Cyber police teams are tracking the source of the mail.
On December 12, several schools in Amritsar had faced a bomb threat, which later turned out to be a hoax.
