Threat case in two schools in Delhi's Rohini district: Delhi Police on Sunday informed that after investigation by the Special Cell of Delhi Police, it was found that the emails were sent to both schools by two different students of the same school.
Both students had sent this email to stop the exam because they were not prepared for the exam paper. Since both of them were students, they were counselled and then let off, Delhi Police added.
At least three schools hit by bomb threat emails have turned out to be a victims of their own students, Delhi Police has discovered.
One of the several schools that received bomb threats was Venkateshwar Global School, which received a threatening email a day after a mysterious blast occurred at the Rohini Prashant Vihar PVR Multiplex on November 28.
A police officer said the email was sent by two siblings enrolled in the school because they wanted the exams to be postponed.
During counselling, both students revealed that they had got the idea from previous incidents of bomb threats being made to schools, the officer said.
They were allowed to go after their parents were given a warning.
After the email was reported, police conducted a thorough check of the school and declared the threat to be a hoax.
According to another police officer, two more schools located in Rohini and Paschim Vihar were sent threatening emails by their students.
The reason was same – the students wanted schools to be shut.
In both matters, the students were allowed to go after counselling and warning their parents.
Bomb threats have sent more than 100 Delhi schools into chaos over the past 11 days.
Police have found that the emails were sent through a VPN (Virtual Private Network), making it tough for them to locate the perpetrators.
Since May this year, more than 50 bomb threat emails have targeted not only schools but hospitals, airports and airline companies in Delhi.
