More than 50 Delhi schools evacuated amid credible bomb-threat emails

A wave of bomb-threat emails prompted swift evacuations and security checks across Delhi’s school network on Wednesday, with more than 50 institutions in the national capital region receiving messages that authorities described as credible enough to warrant full safety protocols. The latest round followed a prior spike just 48 hours earlier when about 32 schools in Delhi were targeted, all of which were later deemed hoaxes after exhaustive inspections. Police and emergency services have launched investigations to identify the source of the emails and to determine whether a coordinated campaign is involved.

In the most recent incidents, schools including SKV Hauz Run and Andhra School in Karol Bagh were among those evacuated as security teams moved in. Fire services and bomb-disposal units were deployed alongside police to conduct ground searches, with responders confirming that they had to cordon off campuses, check classrooms, auditoriums, staff rooms, and buses, and ensure that no suspicious devices were found. While the initial checks did not uncover any explosives, authorities stressed that the safety protocol would remain in effect until campuses were declared secure.
