The threatening email mentioned a possible bomb blast in the schools’ classes on Tuesday at 11 am. However, the threat was later found to be false.
Khalistani Supporter Group Claims Responsibility
This false threat came a day after a blast occurred outside a CRPF school in Rohini, Delhi, on Sunday, for which a Khalistani supporter group claimed responsibility, creating a sensation in the national capital. The Delhi Police have contacted social media platforms and messaging app Telegram to gather information about the channel where the post was made and are investigating the matter. The blast at the Prashant Vihar school on Sunday was so powerful that it damaged the school’s wall. There were no reports of casualties, but some nearby buildings and vehicles were damaged.
Fake Bomb Threats to Domestic and International Flights
More than 90 flights have received bomb threats this week, most of which are false. The Director-General of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and the Director-General of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) met with the Union Home Secretary on Monday to discuss the fake bomb threats to domestic and international flights.
Meeting with the Home Ministry
The two Director-Generals briefed the Home Secretary about the fake calls received by domestic and international flights during a half-hour meeting. These calls have created a sense of panic on several occasions, and Indian aviation authorities, intelligence agencies, and other departments have had to undergo a rigorous security scrutiny process. Sources said that officials discussed the possible impact on aviation security and the measures being taken to deal with the situation, emphasizing the need for increased vigilance and coordination among security agencies.
