The minor reportedly sent bomb threat emails at least six times to different schools, except his own, and tagged multiple schools on the mail to avoid suspicion, officials said, reported NDTV. He sent the emails as he did not want to appear for an exam and believed that the hoax bomb threats would disrupt the exams and get those cancelled, the police said. As a result of the hoax bomb threats, students across Delhi schools were sent back and the police deployed a bomb squad with sniffer dogs over the campuses.
