The school was immediately evacuated (Representational)
New Delhi:
A private school in Delhi was evacuated after it received a bomb threat via email today, the police said.
Officials said Amrita School in Delhi’s Pushp Vihar received the threat mail at around 6.35 am, after which the administration informed the police.
Along with police, bomb squad officials were rushed to the spot. However, no suspicious object was found at the school during the police search.
This comes a fortnight after ‘The Delhi Public School’ (DPS) in Mathura Road had received a threat mail claiming that a bomb had been planted on its premises, following which police had evacuated and sanitised the school.
Police during its investigation found that the email id from which the mail was received was linked to the minor student of DPS. The student, during a counselling session, told police that he had planned the prank “just for fun”.
A similar incident was reported at the ‘The Indian School’ last month. The school was evacuated as the bomb squad and other agencies inspected the premises for any explosive substance. The mail was later declared a hoax.
