NEW DELHI: Bomb threats sent via email to schools in Delhi-NCR on Wednesday morning originated from Russia, as indicated by the IP address of the email, which was traced back to the domain “mail.ru”.
Over 60 schools in national capital and Noida received bomb threats mail creating panic among parents and students.
While some principals claim that it’s spam mail sent by dissatisfied members of a parents’ group potentially disappointed by unresolved issues in the school’s functioning, they argue that such hoax bomb threats have become rampant in the last couple of months, disrupting school hours and creating extreme panic among parents and students.
