Multiple Bomb Scares In Delhi

This bomb scare comes a day after the Delhi Police and National Security Guards conducted mock drills across the national capital. The drills were conducted at IGI airport, Rajiv Chowk Metro Station and DPS RK Puram on Friday and earlier today.

This mock drill was conducted days after nearly 200 schools across Delhi-NCR received hoax bomb threats.

Over 200 Schools Get Hoax Bomb Threats

On Wednesday, around 200 schools across Delhi-NCR regions received bomb threat emails claiming explosives had been planted on the school premises.

Following the threats, bomb squads were called in to various schools and students were dispersed as soon as possible. The bomb threats started at two schools and then later spread over to nearly 200 schools across the capital, causing panic amongst parents and guardians.

The police, however, declared that nothing suspicious was found and stated that the threats were a "hoax".

The initial probe into the threats suspected a "deeper conspiracy" by terror groups during the Lok Sabha Elections 2024.
