Bomb Threat Targets 6 Ahmedabad Schools; Police Trace Email Domain Outside India

Today, threatening emails were sent to many schools in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, following considerable hysteria in the national capital region following a hoax bomb threat to schools in Delhi and its surrounding areas that caused widespread fear. Preliminary reports state that emails containing bomb threats were sent to at least six schools in one of Gujarat’s largest cities. The bomb disposal squad and the criminal branch teams have arrived at the schools to conduct investigations.

Lavina Sinha of the DCP Cybercrime Branch stated that the email domain is not located in India. “Emails threatening bomb blasts have been sent to many Ahmedabad schools. Six schools have so far received these emails and notified us of them. This appears to be similar to the bomb threats that Delhi’s schools got a few days ago,” the officer continued.

What happened in Delhi last week?

In their formal complaint, the Delhi Police stated that the threats were intended to cause widespread fear and disrupt public order in the nation’s capital, following the receipt of bogus emails from over 200 schools earlier this month. Under IPC sections 505 (2) (statements fostering or encouraging enmity, animosity, or ill-will between classes), 507 (criminal intimidation by anonymous communication), and 120 (B) (penalty of criminal conspiracy), Delhi Police’s Special Cell has filed a formal complaint.

The Delhi Police deemed the threat to be fake after conducting a thorough search. Links to the phony emails have been discovered by the police abroad. To identify the precise source of the emails, the Delhi Police earlier this week contacted Mail.ru, a Russian mailing service provider, through Interpol.

The Russian corporation has been ordered by the authorities to track the IP address of the machine that sent out the bulk emails. According to reports, the sender concealed his identity by using a virtual private network (VPN).

Uttarakhand Wildfire Claims Fifth Life in Three Days; Rain Expected This Week

Another life lost to raging flames in the Uttarakhand woods brought the total for the previous three days to five. On Saturday, a 28-year-old lady passed away from her burn injuries. Three days prior, the victim, Pooja, a laborer from Nepal, had attempted to put out a fire at a pine resin business in the Almora area but had suffered serious burn injuries. Last week, while fighting the same fire, her husband and two other people perished. According to reports, a 65-year-old lady who was brought to AIIMS Rishikesh on Sunday passed away from burn injuries she sustained while attempting to put out a forest fire that had reached her property in a hamlet in the Pauri tehsil. An official stated on Friday that three laborers perished from burn injuries they received while putting out a forest fire that had spread near their pine resin factory in Almora.

As the fire consumed the entrance to the sanctuary on Saturday, pilgrims to the Dunagiri temple in the Almora area were forced to evacuate. The swift expansion of the blaze has been attributed by forest experts to strong gusts. A report claims that because of poor visibility, aircraft arrivals at Pithoragarh’s Naini-Saini airport have ceased. Pushkar Singh Dhami, the chief minister of Uttarakhand, called a review meeting on Saturday to discuss the forest fires and instructed the authorities to devise a plan for quickly putting out the fire. Research states that since November 1, 2023, there have been 910 forest fire occurrences in the state, destroying around 1145 hectares of forest.

RAIN LIKELY FROM MAY 7

Bikram Singh, director of the Meteorological Center in Dehradun, suggested that rain may fall in the state between May 7 and May 8, with heavier precipitation starting on May 11. This may assist in putting out the forest fires, he said.

THREE ARRESTED FOR STARTING A FOREST FIRE

According to a report, three guys from Bihar were taken into custody by Chamoli district police for reportedly lighting a fire in the Gairsain region and posting the video to receive “more views on social media.” On Saturday night, police detained the perpetrators after taking suo moto notice of the fire that was making the rounds on social media.

In a significant moment, T Natarajan supplanted Bhuvi, just to confront Kohli’s deft flick through midwicket for a limit. One more full conveyance, this time from Natarajan, saw Faf’s shot redirected off the bowler’s boot, barely saving four runs.
