Bomb hoax at Delhi schools: Police trace threat emails to Budapest

The bomb threats received by approximately 150 schools in Delhi-NCR earlier this month are suspected to have originated from Hungary's Budapest, PTI quoted a Delhi Police statement on Tuesday. The IP address of these emails has been traced to Budapest, a Delhi Police official said adding that it would be contacting its counterpart in Hungary for further investigation in the matter soon, PTI reported.

The threat mail purportedly sent from a mail.ru server said that explosives were planted on school premises in Delhi. This triggered massive evacuations and searches at the premises of around 150 schools in the national capital. The mail was later declared as a hoax as nothing objectionable was found from the school campuses.
