The threat mails to schools in Mumbai, remind one of a similar incident reported from Delhi. In December 2024, several schools across Delhi received threat mails, regarding the presence of bombs on their campus. Investigations however revealed that the threat was a hoax. A similar matter was reported again in February 2025, where schools in both Noida and Delhi received bomb threats. Apart from the school, the prestigious St Stephen’s College in Delhi had also received a similar threat at that time.
