Delhi Police on Sunday said bomb threat emails had been sent to Delhi airport, a few schools and several other institutions, adding that investigation was ongoing.

Two Delhi schools, including CRPF Public School in Noida and a Sarvodaya Vidyalaya near Qutub Minar, received bomb threat emails, which were later declared a hoax, an official of the Delhi Fire Services said.

"Police teams, fire personnel, and bomb disposal units were promptly deployed to the affected schools to carry out a search operation properly. However, nothing suspicious was found," an official told PTI.


Jammu airport bomb threat

Meanwhile, the Jammu airport airport in Jammu and Kashmir, also received a bomb threat on Sunday. A full anti-sabotage drill was carried out at the airport after a private airliner received a bomb threat email, officials said.

However, nothing suspicious was found during a thorough search conducted by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and police, without affecting the air traffic, the officials told PTI.


"An email was received by a private airliner this morning, and accordingly, a security drill in such situations was followed to rule out the presence of any explosive substance. The email was a hoax," an official of the Airport Authority of India said.

He said a police complaint was lodged in this connection, and further investigation is underway to identify the sender of the e-mail.
