At least four schools in Jaipur, Rajasthan, received bomb threats via emails on Monday morning, a few days after bomb hoaxes triggered security scare at schools in Delhi and Ahmedabad.
The four schools that received threats are St Teresa’s School, MPS School, Vidyashram School, and Manak Chowk School, NDTV reported.
Immediately after receiving the threats, the schools were evacuated and the children were sent home, police said.
Police teams along with bomb and dog squads have reached the schools, PTI reported.

“Four-five schools have received bomb threat. Police have reached the schools,” Jaipur Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph said.
Earlier on Sunday, two hospitals and Indira Gandhi International Airport in Delhi received bomb threats via email. The Delhi Fire Services reported threats at Burari Hospital and Sanjay Gandhi Hospital, with the airport receiving an email at 6 pm. Police and bomb squads swiftly responded to the situation, with authorities dispatching personnel to the affected locations.
This came 11 days after over 150 schools in Delhi-NCR received similar threats which were later declared a hoax by the authorities.
