At least five schools in Chennai received a bomb threat on Thursday after which police personnel along with the bomb disposal team reached the spot and started evacuating the students. Soon after the email about the possible bomb threat was received, students in some of the schools were sent back home with their parents.
“Bomb threat e-mails were received at a few educational institutions in GCP limits. GCP/BDDS teams have been sent for Anti-Sabotage Checks in these educational institutions and action is being taken to identify the culprit who sent these e-mails. Public are requested not to panic,” said Chennai Police on X platform (formerly Twitter).
