2 Delhi hospitals under bomb threat following recent school hoax; search operations initiated

PTC News Desk: Days after identical threats to more than 100 schools caused terror to sweep the National Capital Region, two hospitals in Delhi received bomb threats. Sanjay Gandhi Hospital and Burari Hospital received the threatening emails. According to sources, searches are underway at both hospitals and the police are on the scene.

Schools in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, and Delhi received fictitious bomb threats last week.

On May 2, the emails were delivered to three schools in Noida and Greater Noida, five in Gurugram, and 131 schools in Delhi. Three days later, threats were also made against three schools in Ahmedabad.

According to reports, the emails were sent to the schools from a single IP address that was probably hidden by a VPN connection. They most likely came from a Russian domain.

The culprits had used the Arabic term “Sawariim,” which is connected to ISIS propaganda and means “swords clashing.” However, investigators have concluded that the ISIS is not likely to be involved.
