A bomb threat call at Delhi Public School (DPS) in Dwarka compelled authorities to evacuate the premises early Monday morning, August 18. In what has become a third such development in the past few weeks, precautionary measures were taken with police and bomb squads on the scene.
As Delhiites would recall, the previous bomb threats that rocked the national capital were nothing more than hoaxes. However, authorities played their part in swiftly kicking off an investigation into the matter. Officials began searches at the location in case of any potential threats to the lives of the children and others in the area.
DPS Dwarka classes suspended for the day: Another Delhi bomb threat
“Kindly note that the school has been closed for today i.e Monday, 18 August 2025 due to unavoidable circumstances,” DPS Dwarka stated in an official notice shared with parents. Consequently, all tests, activities and other events scheduled for the day stood postponed. New schedules are yet to be announced.
School-going children who travelled via school transport, including buses and vans, were ultimately also being sent back home as part of the safety protocol underway at the time.
It is also believed that DPS Dwarka wasn’t the only target of this new wave of bomb scares. Another school and a college in Delhi’s town also received the threat, as per India Today.

As per visuals from the scene shared by ANI, Modern Convent School, Sector-4, Dwarka, was also confirmed to have received a bomb threat. The school premises have since been evacuated, with authorities taking charge of the investigation.
According to the Delhi Police, ShreeRam World School in Sector 10 was also hit by a similar bomb scare via email.
