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.
