Several schools in Delhi, mayor’s office receive hoax bomb threats

At least a dozen schools and the mayor's office in Delhi received hoax bomb threats via email on Monday morning, warning of blasts at Red Fort, schools, and Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) offices between August 3-15.

All threats were sent from the same Gmail ID 'larry obanion' between 9.07am and 10.02am, specifying times for each target.

Police conducted thorough searches and anti-sabotage checks of all structures, evacuating students and staff, but found nothing suspicious and declared the threats hoaxes.

This was the eighth threat sent to the mayor's office, prompting a formal letter to the Commissioner of Police, Delhi, requesting a detailed investigation.

An investigation is ongoing to identify the suspects and the source of the emails.
