On February 13, 2026, multiple schools in Delhi received bomb threat emails, leading to immediate evacuations of students and teachers. This marks the second such incident in a week, heightening concerns over a pattern of hoax threats targeting educational institutions.
Affected Schools
Authorities responded swiftly to threats reported at prominent schools including:
- Sardar Patel Vidyalaya in Lodhi Estate.
- Kendriya Vidyalaya in Gole Market.
- Delhi Tamil Education Association on Pusa Road.
- The British School in Chanakyapuri.
The Delhi Fire Service received calls starting around 9:13 AM, dispatching fire tenders, bomb detection teams, and disposal squads. No suspicious items were found after thorough searches.
Threat Details and Response
Emails, written in Punjabi and similar to those from earlier in the week, were suspected to originate via VPN to mask sender identities. Police cyber teams are investigating, urging calm while reviewing security at sensitive sites.
This follows Monday’s threats to around 12 schools, including Delhi Public School and Bal Bharati, also declared hoaxes after evacuations. Schools like Sardar Patel Vidyalaya communicated directly with parents, prioritizing safety and resuming classes post-clearance.
