After Blast In Delhi, Multiple CRPF Schools Across India Get Bomb Threats

Several schools run by the Central Reserve Police across India have received new bomb threats. These threats come days after a small IED device exploded near a CRPF school in Delhi's Rohini.

As per news agency ANI, two schools in Delhi and one in Hyderabad received bomb threat emails late Monday night.

Apart from this, bomb threat emails were also sent to two private schools in Chinnavedampatti and Saravanampatti in Coimbatore.

This series of bomb threats come after a week of hoax calls and emails sent to several Indian origin airlines. While majority of the threats were associated to prank calls, some threads have been linked to the Khalistan movement.

The hoax calls on airlines began a day after ties between India and Canada downgraded and both countries expelled top diplomats.

On Sunday, a small IED device exploded near a CRPF School in Prashant Vihar, Rohini. The blast damaged a school wall, a nearby shop and a car.

The explosion also prompted a multi-agency probe into the incident. As per officials, a Khalistan link to Sunday's blast is expected.

As of Tuesday, around 30 airlines have received bomb threats including IndiGo, Vistara and Air India flights.

An IndiGo spokesperson on Tuesday said four of its flights on Monday received security-related alerts. They are 6E 164 (Mangaluru to Mumbai), 6E 75, (Ahmedabad to Jeddah), 6E 67 (Hyderabad to Jeddah) and 6E 118 (Lucknow to Pune). Passengers from these flights disembarked safely.
