Days after an explosion occurred outside a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) school in Rohini, CRPF schools across the country received an email with hoax bomb threat.
This comes just two days after a blast ripped through the wall of a CRPF school in Delhi’s Rohini area, as well as several Indian airlines getting over 100 bomb threats in the past one week.

The email, sent on Monday night, threatened explosions at all CRPF schools by 11 am on Tuesday. An investigation began immediately and the threat was found to be a hoax, sources told NDTV.
In Delhi, two CRPF schools received bomb threat – one in Rohini and the school is in Dwarka.
On Sunday, an explosion ripped through the wall of the school in Rohini’s Prashant Vihar. Several shops and vehicles were also damaged. However, no one was injured.
The explosion is being investigated by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), the CRPF and the National Security Guard. A case has also been registered by the Delhi police.

The hoax threat against CRPF schools comes at a time when similar threats have been issued against over 100 flights since October 14. Reports said 30 flights received such threats on Monday night and another 10 on Tuesday.
Union Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu has said safety is the government’s top priority and rules are being amended to put people who make such calls on the no-fly list.
