Arvind Kejriwal Reacts

Former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal took a potshot at the Delhi Police over the threat and said that criminals have a morale high to issue threats as they have not been caught yet.

“Today another school has received a threat. The morale of the criminals and the people who threaten is high because till date no one who threatens has been caught," Kejriwal posted on X.

Previous Bomb Threats To Schools

Earlier last week on Saturday, several schools in the city, including RK Puram’s Delhi Public School, received bomb threat via email for the second consecutive day.

The fire department, dog squads and bomb detection teams were rushed to the spot, however, after a thorough investigation, nothing suspicious was found.

On Friday last week, around 30 schools received bomb threats over email in the early hours.

However, nothing suspicious was recovered after a detailed investigation.
