After Delhi, Schools In Ahmedabad Get Threat Mails From Russian Domain

New Delhi: After Delhi, several schools in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad received threat e-mails on Monday. The police immediately swung into swift search action. However, nothing suspicious was found on the premises of the schools.

The threat e-mails were reportedly sent from a Russian domain ‘mail.ru’, the same source of the bomb threat mails received by over 100+ schools in Delhi-NCR last week, according to News18.

Notably, around 130 schools in Delhi-NCR received bomb threat e-mails last week. According to investigation agencies, the mail sent to schools in Delhi-NCR originated from a server in Russia.

The Delhi Police’s anti-terror unit special cell had traced the domain of emails to Russia and it was suspected to have been formed with the help of the dark web – an encrypted online content that allows individuals to hide their identity and location from others.

According to a police officer, the email ID from which the threat was sent is ‘sawariim@mail.ru’. Sawarim is an Arabic word extensively used by the terror outfit Islamic State (IS) in their propaganda videos over the past several years, the official said.
