At least three schools in Delhi received bomb threats on Tuesday morning, prompting authorities to evacuate students and staff as police, bomb detection teams, disposal squads and fire service personnel launched search operations. The British School, Sanskriti School and Sardar Patel Vidyalaya in the New Delhi district were among the institutions that received the threats, which were reportedly sent through emails.

According to the Delhi Police, calls from the schools were received between around 10:30 am and 10:45 am after the threats were reported. Police teams, bomb detection and disposal units, dog squads and Delhi Fire Services personnel were immediately sent to the premises. The schools were evacuated as a precautionary measure while anti-sabotage checks were initiated across the campuses.
