New Delhi: The Delhi Police detained a Class 12 student for a series of bomb threats to dozens of schools over the past few days, according to reports.
The suspect had sent the last 23 threat emails to different schools in Delhi, Deputy Commissioner of Police South Delhi, Ankit Chauhan, told ANI that. Cops claimed that the student had confessed that he had sent threat emails earlier as well. The minor did not want to take school examinations and thus resorted to threat mails to trigger panic, reported the NDTV.
On Thursday, around 10 educational institutes in the national capital had received bomb threats, reports claimed.
The development comes days after Delhi Police found that at least three schools had received similar threats sent via emails by its own students.
Bomb threats had been sent to more than 100 Delhi schools in 11 days last month, PTI reported. Police have found that the emails were sent through a VPN.
