An official of the Delhi Fire Services quoted in a PTI report said that the schools that received the threats were CRPF Public School in Dwarka and a Sarvodaya Vidyalaya near Qutub Minar.

"Police teams, fire personnel, and bomb disposal units were promptly deployed to the affected schools to carry out a search operation properly. However, nothing suspicious was found," the official said.
The Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGI) in Delhi received a bomb threat email on Sunday, prompting the police to investigate the matter.

Several other institutions in the city, including the IGI airport, have also received similar bomb threat emails, and the police have launched a probe.

The email arrived early, around 6 AM. According to an airport official, the threat was declared non-specific and had no impact on operations.
There has been a wave of bomb threat emails targeting various institutions in the city and beyond in recent months, all of which have been declared a hoax so far.

Waves of hoax bomb threats to Delhi schools

However, after teams from Delhi Police, Delhi Fire Services, and other agencies carried out hours of searches and evacuations, the threat was declared a hoax last Saturday.

The bomb threat email was sent to 489 addresses in total, out of which around 100 are repeated, police officers said at the time.
Over 50 schools in Delhi reportedly received bomb threats via email last month. This one came just days after similar threats were received by 32 schools in the city, triggering evacuations and large-scale security checks.
All of the mentioned bomb threats were later declared a hoax.
