St Stephen’s College, Dwarka School receive bomb threats, second incident in two days

New Delhi: Delhi police on Tuesday morning received bomb threats via email against St. Thomas School (Dwarka) and St. Stephen’s College (Delhi University). Both institutions have been evacuated. According to the initial reporrts, Delhi Police, bomb squad, dog squad, and fire department are investigating. So far, authorities have not found any suspicious object at either site. The Delhi Police confirmed that the threats were sent through email and are now working to trace the source.

This is the second such incident in last two days. On Monday, three schools in the national capital, including two CRPF schools and a Navy children’s school, received bomb threats, which were later declared “hoax” by authorities.

The threats were sent via email in the early hours of Monday to CRPF schools in Sector 16, Dwarka and Prashant Vihar and the Navy Children School in Chanakyapuri, officials said. Authorities carried out a thorough check of the school premises later and declared the threats to be a hoax, as nothing suspicious was found.

The bomb threat prompted immediate evacuation protocols at the school, as police and emergency response teams arrived at the scene to ensure the safety of everyone present. Security personnel and school authorities began systematically clearing the premises as per standard operating procedure.

All students, teachers, and staff members were safely escorted out of the school building and assembled at a designated safe zone away from the structure. The Delhi Fire Services said a fire tender was rushed to the schools. “It was declared a hoax after a thorough check by multiple agencies, including the fire department,” a fire official said.
