Delhi Student Who Sent Bomb Threat To School ‘Wanted To Avoid Classes’

A 14-year-old boy has been detained for allegedly sending a bomb threat to his school in south Delhi’s Greater Kailash area to “avoid” attending classes, police reported on Saturday.

Panic spread through a private school when its administration received a bomb threat email on Friday around 12:30 am. The police were alerted, and the bomb and dog squad conducted a thorough search.

The email claimed that bombs were also planted at two additional private schools in south Delhi and was signed off as being sent by a Pakistani General, according to the police. The boy was apprehended on Saturday, having used a relative’s email account to send the threat, the police said.

The police also conducted searches at the other two schools but found nothing suspicious at any of the locations. During questioning, the boy admitted that he sent the bomb threat to his school using a relative’s email ID because he did not want to attend school the following day, an officer stated.

The boy was brought before the Juvenile Justice Board (JJB) and has been sent to a juvenile home, the officer added. A case has been registered, and further investigation is ongoing, according to the police.
