Delhi Bomb Blast: False bomb threats to CRPF schools across the country

On late Monday night, It was heard that many Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) schools across the country received false bomb threats. The schools targeted by this false threat include two schools in Delhi-at Rohini and Dwarka, and one at Hyderabad. Sources said, the management of these institutions received threatening emails. The incident is being investigated by officials; the matter is under the review of senior officials of various organizations including CRPF, the Intelligence Bureau, and Delhi Police. It mentioned that, on Tuesday at 11 am, there was going to be a bomb blast in the classrooms of these schools. Later, this threat proved to be a false threat.

The fake threat was received a day after the blast outside a CRPF school in Delhi's Rohini on Sunday, to which a pro-Khalistani group claimed responsibility, created sensation in the national capital. Delhi Police have contacted social media platforms and messaging app Telegram- demanding to know about the channel on which the post was made, and the matter is under investigation. The blast at Prashant Vihar school, which occurred on Sunday, was so powerful that it broke the wall of the school. No causality reports have come in due to the incident, but many buildings and vehicles located in the vicinity have been damaged.

So far this week, more than 90 flights have received bomb threats, the majority of which have been deemed to be false. Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan was briefed by Director Generals RS Bhatti of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and Zulfikar Hassan of the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) on Monday regarding the recent false bomb threats that were received on both domestic and foreign aircraft.

In a less than half an hour meeting with the Home Ministry, the two Directors General briefed the Home Secretary about the recent calls on domestic and international flights. These fake calls have created a state of panic on more than one occasion and officials of Indian aviation sectors, intelligence wings, and other departments had to go through stringent security checks. Sources said that the officials discussed possible implications for aviation security, the steps being taken to deal with the situation, and pressed the need for heightened vigilance and coordination among security agencies.
