Jaipur Schools Receive Bomb Threat Emails

A day after hospitals and the airport received bomb threat emails, at least four schools in Rajasthan capital Jaipur received bomb threats via email on Monday, PTI reported.

Students and staff members have been evacuated, they said and added that police teams along with bomb and dog squads have reached the schools.

DCP East Jaipur Kavendra Sagar said, "Threatening emails have been sent to some schools of the city including Maheshwari School (MPS International School). Currently, the bomb disposal squad is carrying out searches in the school."

In a bomb scare of unprecedented scale, over 150 schools in Delhi-NCR received an identical threat e-mail on May 1 claiming that explosives had been planted on their premises, triggering massive evacuations and searches as panic-stricken parents rushed to pick up their children.

However, Nothing objectionable was found during searches by authorities which later declared it a hoax.

On Sunday, eight hospitals and the IGI Airport in Delhi received bomb threats through emails on Sunday, 11 days after similar messages to over 150 schools in Delhi-NCR sparked a scare of unprecedented scale.

Police received information regarding the threat from Brurari Hospital at 3 pm after which complaints came in from several other hospitals across the city and police teams were dispatched but "nothing suspicious" has been found yet, officials said.

The bomb threats were reported from Indira Gandhi International Airport Terminal-3, Burari Hospital, Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Bara Hindu Rao Hospital, Janakpuri Super Speciality Hospital, Deen Dayal Upadhyay, Dabri's Dada Dev Hospital and Aruna Asaf Ali Government Hospital in Civil Lines, a senior Delhi Fire Services official said.
