The police said that hey received a call from the school authorities at around 8.10 am today. The school was immediately evacuated. So far the cops have found nothing and it may have been a hoax, a source tells OneIndia.

Earlier this month, The Indian School in Delhi's Sadiq Nagar had received a threat via an email. The mail claimed that there were bombs on the premises. Following this the school was evacuated as the bomb squad and other agencies inspected the premises for any explosive substance. It was later learnt that the email was a hoax.

In September the Spring Dale School in Amritsar received a bomb threat on the social media, following which a police complaint was filed. The threat was reported just four days after a similar incident was reported at the DAV school. It turned out to a hoax and was said to have been the handiwork of three students of the school.
