Panic in Delhi as Bomb Threat Calls Hit Multiple Schools, Students Evacuated Amid Major Security Operation
Early Monday, Delhi witnessed a significant security scare as bomb threat calls and emails targeted at least nine reputed schools across the city between about 8:30 AM and 9:00 AM, sparking panic among students, staff and parents. Authorities reacted swiftly, evacuating all affected campuses and launching a massive security operation involving the Delhi Police, fire services and specialised bomb-disposal teams.
The threats, received in a narrow window of time, triggered precautionary evacuations of students and faculty from renowned institutions including Loreto Convent (Delhi Cantt), Venkateshwar School (Rohini), The Indian School (Sadiq Nagar), multiple Cambridge School campuses, CM Shri School and Bal Bharati Public School among others. Police and bomb squads conducted thorough searches of classrooms, lawns and all entry points, though officials have not confirmed any suspicious device or explosive material so far.
Investigators believe the threats came through a mix of phone calls and emails, some of which used inflammatory language and politically charged claims warning of a blast in Delhi. Police teams are actively tracing the origin of these messages and calls and examining every lead. Authorities also appealed to citizens to avoid sharing unverified or speculative information that could trigger panic.
Parents gathered anxiously outside school gates as children were handed over to guardians, and officials maintained that safety protocols were followed meticulously to avoid chaos. The situation remains under close surveillance, with police continuing in-depth investigations into the origin and credibility of the threats.
