Bengaluru School Receives Bomb Threat Again, Days After Citywide Hoax Scare

A private school in East Bengaluru received a bomb threat via email on Tuesday, prompting swift action by the school management and police. The institution, identified as Chrysalis High Varthur, immediately sent students home as a precautionary measure.

Police officials confirmed that a manual inspection was conducted and found "nothing substantial." A dog squad was also deployed to assist in the investigation. This comes just days after over 40 schools across Bengaluru received similar bomb threats, which were later declared hoaxes following comprehensive checks.

The threatening email was sent from the ID [email protected]. It included alarming claims that multiple TNT-based explosives were hidden in classrooms inside black plastic bags. The sender wrote, "I will erase every last one of you... not a single soul will survive."

The email also featured disturbing personal confessions, including suicidal intentions and a plea for media coverage. It read, "I truly hate my life... I will commit suicide after the news kicks in. No one ever cared. Please give a copy of the message to the press/media."

Police have launched a full-scale investigation and are working with cybercrime teams to trace the origin of the email. Bomb disposal squads have thoroughly inspected the premises and surrounding areas.

This incident has rekindled fear in the city, following a mass bomb threat sent to at least 40 private schools last Friday. Institutions in Rajarajeshwari Nagar, Kengeri, and other parts of Bengaluru were targeted. That wave of threats, which claimed similar explosive dangers, also turned out to be false.
