Several schools in Delhi received bomb threat emails on Saturday, just one day after over 30 schools in the city had received similar threats. According to Delhi Police, the schools that received the bomb threat emails included DPS RK Puram, Ryan International School, and Vasant Kunj.

The police reported that a group email was sent to the schools at 6:12 a.m. on Saturday. The email, which came from the address "childrenofallah@outlook.com," was allegedly sent by someone named "Barry Allah."

Once the schools received the threat, they immediately informed the Delhi Police. The police, along with bomb detection teams and fire officials, quickly responded and inspected the schools. However, no suspicious items or explosives were found at any location.

On Friday, South East Delhi's Deputy Commissioner of Police, Ravi Kumar Singh, confirmed that more than 30 schools across Delhi received similar hoax bomb threat emails. An investigation revealed that these emails were sent from outside India.

As a safety measure, the schools were evacuated, and the Bomb Disposal Squad carried out thorough checks. Fortunately, no explosives or dangerous materials were found in any of the schools.

The bomb threats have caused concern among parents, teachers, and staff members, but Delhi Police reassured everyone that they are investigating the matter and working to ensure safety. Authorities emphasized taking the situation seriously, and public safety remains a top priority.

This incident is not the first time that bomb threats have disrupted schools in Delhi, underlining the need for better security measures in educational institutions. On Friday, schools like Bhatnagar Public School in Paschim Vihar, Cambridge School in Srinivaspuri, and two Delhi Public Schools—one in East of Kailash and the other in Defence Colony—were among those that received threat emails.

In a related incident earlier in December, more than 40 schools across Delhi received bomb threat emails demanding a ransom of $30,000. These threats were sent on December 8 at around 11:38 p.m.

Former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed deep concern about the recurring bomb threats, pointing out the negative impact these incidents could have on students. He said that constant threats could disrupt children's studies and affect their mental well-being. Kejriwal urged for better safety measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
