Earlier in the day, six Delhi schools also received bomb threats, prompting extensive searches and evacuations of the staff and students.
Six schools in the national capital's Dwarka Sector 5 and Prasad Nagar area received the threats early in the morning.
According to the preliminary investigations, no suspicious objects have been found so far, and the search is underway.
The police are working to trace the IP address of the sender of the emails sent to the schools.
The situation has once again raised alarm among students, parents, and school staff.
This comes a day after two schools in New Delhi -- SKV Malviya Nagar and Andhra School, Prasad Nagar -- received bomb threat emails around 7:40 a.m. and 7:42 a.m., respectively.
On August 18, Delhi Public School (DPS) Dwarka had to be evacuated following a bomb threat call received around 7.00 a.m. In that case, too, authorities responded immediately, and bomb squads conducted a thorough search.
However, the threat turned out to be a hoax.
