After Delhi and Gujarat, schools in Jaipur receive bomb threats

At least four schools in Jaipur have received bomb threats via email on Monday, police said, days after similar bomb threats triggered security scare at schools in Delhi and Ahmedabad.

"Four-five schools have received bomb threats. Police have reached the schools," Jaipur Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph said.

The threat was given by email and a team is trying to identify the sender, the police added. The four schools on alert are St Teresa's School, MPS School, Vidyashram School, and Manak Chowk School. They have been evacuated and the children were sent home, police said.

The incident comes a day after hospitals in Delhi received bomb threats via emails and 12 days after similar messages were sent to over 100 schools in Delhi-NCR.

On Sunday, 20 hospitals, the IGI airport and the Northern Railways' CPRO office in Delhi received bomb threats through emails.

On May 6, several schools in Ahmedabad also received threatening emails. The initial investigation revealed that the origin of the emails was of Russian domain, specifically from the email address “[email protected]”.

However, further probing revealed a link to a military cantonment in Pakistan. The emails, initially considered rumors, were found to be sent by an individual named Tohik Liyakat, operating from Pakistan under the alias Ahmed Javed. 

Sunday's threats to hospitals and two other installations were received from a Europe-based mailing service company 'beeble.com'.
