Several schools in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad received threat E-mails on Monday prompting a swift search action by the police. Nothing suspicious was found on the premises of the schools. Police have been put on alert.
The threat E-mails were reportedly sent from a Russian domain ‘mail.ru’, the same source of the bomb threat mails received by over 100+ schools in Delhi-NCR last week.
Around 130 schools in the Delhi-NCR had received bomb threat E-mails on Wednesday morning, prompting swift evacuation of students from campuses. According to investigation agencies, the mail sent to schools in Delhi-NCR originated from a server located in Russia.
The Delhi Police’s anti-terror unit special cell had traced the domain of emails to Russia and it was suspected to have been formed with the help of the dark web – an encrypted online content that allows individuals to hide their identity and location from others.
According to a police officer, the email ID from which the threat was sent is ‘[email protected]’. Sawarim is an Arabic word extensively used by the terror outfit Islamic State (IS) in their propaganda videos over the past several years, the official said.
“Kill them wherever you meet and drive them out of the places from which they drove you. There are many explosive devices in the school…,” read the email sent to the schools in Delhi.
The officer said that the email also contained “aayate (verses) of the holy Quran”.
The schools that received the bomb threat E-Mail included – Sanskriti School of Chanakyapuri police station area, Mother Mary School in Mayur Vihar of East Delhi, DPS School of Dwarka district, DAV School, Amity School, Pushp Vihar and Saket and Sanskriti School of New Delhi district among others.
Delhi Public School, Noida was one of the schools that received the bomb threat via E-mail. Noida police was alerted soon after the bomb threat was received via mail.
