According to the Delhi police, the students sent hoax bomb threat emails to at least three schools in Delhi recently. The investigations by the Special Cell revealed that students had sent these emails to postpone exams due to inadequate preparation, as stated in a report by The Deccan Chronicle

One such incident involved Venkateshwar Global School, which received a threatening email a day after a mysterious explosion occurred at the Rohini Prashant Vihar PVR Multiplex on November 28. Another school in Rohini faced a similar email threat, which was also traced to a student seeking to avoid exams. 

The Delhi police stated, "After investigation, it was found that the emails were sent to both schools by students from the same school. The students admitted to their actions during counseling and were let off with warnings to their parents."

The students confessed that they got the idea from previous incidents of bomb threats to schools. In both cases, the police thoroughly searched the premises before declaring the threats hoaxes.

These incidents are part of a larger spate of bomb threats affecting over 100 schools in Delhi in the past 11 days. The threatening emails, sent using Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), have made it difficult for the police to trace the perpetrators.

This recent surge in bomb threats has added to a troubling trend in Delhi, where over 50 bomb threat emails have targeted schools, hospitals, airports, and airlines since May. Despite ongoing investigations, no major breakthroughs have been made in these cases.
Authorities are urging the public, including students, to understand the gravity of such threats, which not only waste resources but also create unnecessary.
