In a shocking incident on Monday morning, two schools in Delhi—Delhi Public School in RK Puram and GD Goenka School in Paschim Vihar—received bomb threats via email. The alerts were reported to the Delhi Police and fire brigade around 7 a.m. as precautionary measures were swiftly implemented.
Both schools immediately made contact with parents and dispatched students to go home. Authorities are investigating the sending of threatening emails while simultaneously securing the school premises to ensure no harm occurs within the compound.

Previous Bomb Threat Incident
This is not the first incidence of a threat being raised against schools in Delhi. On November 9, in Rohini, a similar email threat was received to a private school called Venkateshwar Global School. The school conducted an evacuation and a meticulous search after deploying bomb squads, dog squads, and specialized units, all without any suspicious objects left behind. The threat had been later declared a hoax.
Delhi Police provided assurances that investigations into the source of these emails are continuing and that appropriate legal action will be taken against those responsible.
