This is the third such bomb threat received by schools in Delhi this month. Earlier, Delhi Public School (DPS) on Mathura Road in South-east Delhi received two such bomb threats, both of which turned out to be a hoax.
On the first occasion, the email was received on May 1 and the police said that it was a hoax email sent by one of their own students, who admitted to planning the prank "just for fun".
Another email was received by the school less than two weeks later on Thursday evening, May 12. However, the police declared that to be a hoax too.
