Students Behind The Hoax Mails To Postpone Exams, Police Reveal News24 –

Delhi: Delhi Police on Sunday made shocking revelation regarding the bomb threat emails received by two schools in Rohini. The threats were allegedly sent by the schools’ own students because they wanted to postpone their exams.

“After investigation, the Special Cell of Delhi Police found that the emails were sent to both the schools by two different students of the same school. They had sent the email to stop the exam since they were not prepared for the exam paper,” Delhi Police said.

Reports revealed that the police counselled the students and let them off. On December 14, the Delhi Police Special Cell identified a private school student as having sent a bomb threat email to a school in Paschim Vihar area.

According to police, they found the student’s home after tracing the IP address. The child admitted to the act of crime after being questioned by the authorities. Police let him go after warning the parents to keep a watch on him.

On December 14 and 17, several schools in Delhi received bomb threat emails. Furthermore, on December 13, a total of 30 schools across Delhi were targeted with hoax bomb threat emails.

On December 13, former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal on Friday voiced serious concerns about recurring bomb threats targeting schools in the national capital. Kejriwal questioned the potential psychological and academic impact on children, saying such incidents could disrupt their studies and well-being if they continue unabated.

On November 19, the Delhi High Court instructed the Delhi Government and Police to develop a comprehensive action plan, including a detailed Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to address bomb threats and related emergencies. The court set a deadline of eight weeks for the completion of these directives.
