Today, September 22, a school in Delhi received a bomb threat which turned out to be a hoax. Giving details about this, the police said that the Lal Bahadur Shastri School in RK Puram, Delhi received an email about a bomb on the premises that later turned out to be a hoax. Adding more details, the officer informed that the school authorities received the email on Wednesday, September 20, as stated in a report by PTI.

Not the first time
