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.
