Unfortunately, this incident adds to a concerning trend, as educational institutions in Delhi have faced similar threats in recent months.

In February, Delhi Public School (DPS) in RK Puram experienced a bomb threat via email, prompting a prompt evacuation and subsequent police involvement. The school remained vigilant, taking necessary precautions following the alarming message.

Similarly, Lal Bahadur Shastri School in RK Puram encountered a hoax bomb threat via email in September last year, emphasizing the recurring nature of such incidents. Further, Delhi Public School in Mathura Road and The Indian School in Sadiq Nagar also grappled with bomb threats, proving the need for heightened security measures in educational institutions.

The Indian School in Sadiq Nagar faced two bomb threats, one in November 2022 over the phone and the last one on April 12, 2023, through email. Fortunately, both incidents were revealed as hoaxes, but they underscore the persistent challenges posed by false threats and the importance of a vigilant and responsive security apparatus in safeguarding educational spaces.
