Delhi's St. Thomas School and St. Stephen's College receive bomb threats, premises evacuated

Delhi's St. Thomas School in Dwarka and St. Stephen's College of Delhi University received bomb threat emails on Tuesday, only a day after three schools in the national capital had received hoax threats.

St. Thomas School and the St. Stephen's College have been evacuated, while the Delhi Police Bomb Squad, Dog Squad, Delhi Fire Brigade team, and Special Staff team are on the spot to conduct a search. Nothing suspicious has been found so far, the police said

On Monday, three schools in Delhi, including Navy School in Chanakyapuri, CRPF School in Dwarka, and another in Rohini, received bomb threat emails.


Bomb disposal squads and police teams were swiftly deployed to all locations, with police launching a large scale search operation. However, the police said nothing suspicious was found.

The Delhi Fire Services said a fire tender each was rushed to the schools. "It was declared a hoax after a thorough check by multiple agencies, including the fire department," a fire official said.
