The capital city of Delhi is once again on high security alert. Indira Gandhi International Airport, various schools, and several prominent institutions have received threatening emails claiming they will be bombed. These threats have been coming in since this morning, following which the Delhi Police have launched an investigation. Although no suspicious objects have been found in the preliminary investigation, security agencies are on full alert.
A wave of panic has swept through Delhi after the Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport, several schools, and other institutions received bomb threat emails. The Cyber Cell is currently investigating the emails, and the public has been urged to remain vigilant.
Several schools and airports across India received bomb threat emails on Sunday, putting the security agencies on high alert. The sender, who identified himself as "son of evil", warned the authorities to respond within 24 hours, warning that failing to take action would lead to a "bloodbath". The police, bomb squads, and other security teams have been deployed and launched a thorough search to take control of the situation. The threat also mentioned planting bombs at the Delhi and Jammu Airports.
According to sources, the threats were sent from an unknown email ID, which clearly stated that "institutions will be bombed." These emails have reached several reputed schools, hospitals, and government buildings in Delhi, in addition to the airport. Security forces deployed at the airport immediately launched a search operation, but everything has been found to be normal so far.The email claimed that bombs had been placed around school and airport administrations and warned of a "blood pool" if authorities did not act within 24 hours. The sender identified themselves as the leader of a terrorist group called "terrorizers 111" and described themselves in threatening terms.
The mail said that bombs were placed around the administration of schools and airports, and there were 24 hours to react or face the blood pool, police said. A senior Delhi Police official stated, "Our cyber cell became active after receiving the emails. The IP address and email trail are being investigated. No concrete leads have been found yet, but we are not ignoring any possibility." The police have also sought relevant data from social media platforms to identify the sender of the threat.
Security arrangements at Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) have been further tightened. Additional canine squads and bomb disposal squads have been deployed at all terminals. Passengers are facing additional checks before boarding. Although no flights have been cancelled or diverted yet, the situation remains serious.
About 8 days ago, several schools in Delhi, including DPS Dwarka, Krishna Model Public School, and Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, had also received bomb threats via phone calls. As a precaution, students and staff were evacuated, and police teams and bomb disposal squads were dispatched. DPS Dwarka announced the closure of its school and postponed mid-term exams scheduled for the day, citing "unavoidable circumstances."
Similarly, the University College of Medical Sciences received a similar email on September 9, which was found to be fake. On the same day, Maulana Azad Medical College and the Delhi Chief Minister's Secretariat also received bomb threats. According to DCP Nidhin Valsan, the email sent to the dean of MAMC did not contain specific details, but a bomb squad was dispatched to investigate.
