CRPF schools, including Delhi and Hyderabad, receive hoax bomb threats

Just a day after an explosion occurred outside a Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) school in Delhi, all such schools across the country received an email threatening that they would be bombed, sources said.

Officials said the email, sent on Monday night, threatened explosions at all CRPF schools by 11 am on Tuesday. An investigation began immediately and the threat was found to be a hoax.

Delhi has two such schools, in Rohini and Dwarka. An explosion had ripped through the wall of the school in Rohini's Prashant Vihar on Sunday morning and several shops and vehicles had also been damaged. No one had been injured.
