Over the past few days, emails containing bomb threats have been sent to schools in Derry. The Delhi Police Special Cell has since traced a student studying at a private school for sending bomb threat emails. According to task force sources, the child sent a bomb threat email to his school.
Tracing the IP address, a team of the Delhi Police Special Cell reached the child’s home. The child said he did it himself. Thereafter, the child was counseled and released and his parents were instructed to look after the child. According to the task force, the child was not linked to a group email about bomb threats sent to many schools in Delhi.
Why do kids send emails?
A 12-year-old student has been detained by the police for sending an email containing a bomb threat to his school in South Delhi’s Vasant Vihar area. Sources said the school was one of 30 that received a bomb threat via email on Friday.
Sources said his parents were warned and the child was released. Sources said the student told police he sent the email to his school after seeing news of bomb threats being received at several schools in Delhi. He believed he would not be arrested because the defendants in the previous cases had not yet been arrested.
Threaten the school for the third time
At least 44 schools received similar emails last Monday. This follows Friday and Saturday, with schools in Derry receiving bomb threats on Saturday, the third incident this week of threatening emails being sent to schools in the capital. Police are investigating after a bomb threat was made at a Derry school. Additionally, children were immediately sent home from school after receiving threats.
