Delhi Police links student behind school bomb threats with politically-affiliated NGO

The Delhi Police claimed on Tuesday (January 14, 2025) that a Class-12 student, who was recently apprehended for allegedly sending bomb threats to more than 400 city schools, is linked to an NGO that supports a political party.

A police officer further said that during the investigation, they also got to know that the NGO had voiced support for Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru.

"We were tracking e-mails and because of a virtual private network (VPN), it was difficult to track the origins. We also had to ascertain whether there was a terror angle to it," Special Commissioner of Police (Law and Oder) Madhup Tewari told a press conference at the police headquarters here.
