On the morning of 1 May 2024, around 100 schools in Delhi and the National Capital Region of India were emailed bomb threats. The emails were received by the schools around 4 am, leading to immediate evacuation and closure of schools all over Delhi.[1]
Delhi Police and Delhi's education minister Atishi Marlena Singh, confirmed the news on social media. Bomb squads and Delhi police teams investigated the schools and increased security throughout the capital. According to police, "nothing suspicious was found," and the event was labeled a hoax. Police filed an FIR against an unknown person under section 120B, 506 of IPC.[2]
Police reported that the IP addresses which sent the emails were Russian in origin.[3][4]
