Over 50 Schools Had Received Similar Emails A Day Earlier
The fresh threat comes a day after more than 50 schools received a bomb threat email in the National Capital Region in the early hours of Wednesday.
Delhi Police said that a group calling itself ‘Terrorisers 111’ sent emails to several schools, including DAV Public School, Faith Academy, Doon Public School, and Sarvodaya Vidyalaya, demanding USD 25,000. The same group had earlier issued a bomb threat on August 18, demanding USD 5,000 in cryptocurrency.
The group claimed to have hacked the IT systems of schools and warned that bombs would be detonated on campus within 48 hours.
“We are the Terrorisers 111 group. We have planted explosives inside your building, and others across the city. Devices include high-yield C4 bombs and timed charges placed in classrooms, auditoriums, staff rooms, and school buses, designed to cause maximum casualties. We have breached your IT systems, extracted student and staff data, and compromised all security cameras. We are monitoring your actions in real time. Transfer 2000 USD to Ethereum address within 48 hours, or we will detonate the bombs,” the email read.
Similar Threat On August 18
On August 18, Delhi Public School (DPS) Dwarka had to be evacuated after a bomb threat call was received around 7:00 am. In that case too, the authorities responded immediately, and bomb squads conducted a thorough search. However, the threat turned out to be a hoax.
July Bomb Threat
Last month, more than 50 schools across Delhi received similar email threats. However, all of them were later found to be hoaxes.
