Jaipur: At least four schools in Rajasthan capital, Jaipur, received bomb threats via email on Monday, citing police. Students and staff members have been evacuated, and police teams, along with bomb and dog squads, have reached the schools. The development comes 12 days after similar messages to more than 150 schools in Delhi-NCR sparked a scare of unprecedented scale.
“Four-five schools have received bomb threats. Police have reached the schools,” Jaipur Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph said. The threat was given by email and a team is trying to identify the sender, the police added.
On Sunday, 20 hospitals, the IGI airport and the Northern Railways’ CPRO office in Delhi received bomb threats through emails.
While threats to Delhi schools were received from a Russia-based mailing service, Sunday’s threats to hospitals and two other installations were received from a Europe-based mailing service company ‘beeble.com’, officials said.
A police officer informed that the e-mail was sent to one hospital with copies marked to others with the same content. The officer said it was generated from sender id “[email protected]”, which is being verified and cyber officials are trying to locate the IP address.
Days after a hoax bomb threat to schools in Delhi and its surrounding areas triggered widespread panic in the national capital region, several schools in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad received threatening emails.
According to preliminary reports, at least six schools in one of the biggest cities in Gujarat received bomb threats through emails on May 6, 2024. The crime branch teams and the bomb disposal squad have reached the schools for investigation.
