On the Same day, several schools in Delhi also received emails allegedly threatening to blow up school premises. According to the investigation, the threat was received from the banned pro-Khalistan group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ). 

In the email, the SFJ reportedly stated it is "taking decisive action to prevent President Droupadi Murmu from unfurling the Tiranga as a protest against the Constitution, which erases identity and perpetuates systemic oppression."
