This incident marks the latest in a series of hoax bomb threats targeting schools, airports, hospitals, and jails across the national capital. Similar threats have been reported in schools located in Jaipur, Lucknow, Kanpur, and Ahmedabad. Earlier this month, a hoax email claiming explosives were planted on school premises in Delhi triggered the evacuation of students and staff at over 150 schools.
