NEW DELHI: A school in Najafgarh and another in Malviya Nagar received bomb threat emails on Wednesday morning, triggering an alert among authorities.On Monday, several schools received bomb threat emails from a group identifying itself as the “Terrorisers 111 Group,” demanding $5,000 in cryptocurrency within 72 hours and warning of blasts if the demand was not met, officials said. According to police, the mail read: “Pay $5,000 USD Crypto within 72 hours. If you don’t, we will detonate the bombs.” It further claimed that multiple pipe bombs and advanced explosives had been planted on campuses, and that the group had hacked into IT systems, including student and staff data as well as surveillance cameras. “We are watching your every move,” it warned, adding that any contact with police would trigger “immediate action.
”
The threats were received by Delhi Public School (DPS) Dwarka, Modern Convent School and ShreeRam World School in Sector 10, Dwarka. Following the alerts, the schools were evacuated and bomb disposal squads, along with fire and police teams, carried out extensive checks of the premises. While two earlier threats to schools in the city had turned out to be hoaxes, security agencies said Monday’s threat is being taken “very seriously” and all protocols are being followed. Parents rushed to the schools after receiving emergency messages. One parent said, “We received a message to collect our children, but no reason was given initially. Later we learnt about the threat.”(Inputs with agency)
