40 Bengaluru schools, 45 Delhi schools get bomb threats

Panic spread across multiple school campuses on Friday after over 40 private schools in Bengaluru, including those in RR Nagar, Kengeri and other key localities, received bomb threats.

Similar threats were also reported from nearly 45 schools in Delhi across key districts including Pitampura, Dwarka, Rohini, South Delhi, and Central Delhi were also targeted with similar threats, according to Delhi Police officials.

The Police have begun emergency security checks, and temporary closures in both cities.

The mass threats quickly turned political in the national capital. Former Delhi Education Minister Atishi and CM slammed the BJP, accusing it of failing to ensure safety despite holding control over multiple governance agencies in Delhi.
