NEW DELHI — Monday morning started out tense for families across Delhi as several schools received anonymous emails threatening a possible bomb attack. Parents and staff didn’t waste time—they reported the messages straight to the police. Bomb squads and security teams swept through the schools, but found nothing dangerous. Still, everyone is on high alert, just in case.
The emails themselves weren’t exactly detailed. Vague warnings, no real specifics—just enough to get everyone’s nerves jangling. School administrators called in the police and the local disaster teams right away. Security drills kicked in: they checked the grounds, searched classrooms, and reached out to parents to keep them in the loop.
Police Response
Delhi Police say they’re digging into the source of the emails now, working alongside cybercrime experts to track down whoever sent them. Senior officers told the public that their teams searched every reported school and didn’t find anything suspicious.
“We’re treating every report as serious,” a police spokesperson said. “There’s no sign of a real threat so far, but we’ll keep investigating and updating parents.”
Security is tighter around the schools now. Patrols are up, both on foot and in vehicles, and schools have set up metal detectors at the main doors to reassure families.
How Schools Handled It
As soon as the emails landed, schools sent official alerts to parents, telling them not to panic or get caught up in rumors. One principal said they’re working closely with authorities and doing everything possible to keep the campus safe.
A lot of parents showed up at the gates, worried about their kids and asking about pick-up times and safety plans. Some were anxious, sure, but most said they appreciated how quickly schools and police responded.
Expert Opinions and What People Are Saying
Child safety experts say you can’t just ignore emails like this. Even if they turn out to be hoaxes, schools need to take every threat seriously and follow proper safety checks. They’re also urging schools to practice emergency drills so kids and teachers know what to do if something ever happens for real.

On social media, people had mixed feelings. Some praised the police for acting fast. Others want tougher cybercrime tracking and harsher punishment for anyone sending fake threats. Plenty of people are talking about the risks of anonymous emails and the need for better online security.
Police are still investigating. Their cyber teams are combing through digital evidence, trying to trace the emails back to the sender. Meanwhile, classes are back to normal in the affected schools, but with tighter security in place.
Officials are asking everyone to stay calm and report anything unusual near school zones. Parents can expect more updates from schools if there’s any new information.
