Delhi Police on Tuesday made major revelations in the case of fake bomb threats in Delhi schools. Recently, about 400 schools in Delhi were given bomb threats through email and phone. During the intensive search, nothing suspicious was found in any school. But, such fake bomb threats were affecting studies. Exams had to be canceled several times due to bomb threats in schools. Now Delhi Police in its investigation found that 400 such emails were sent from the laptop of a class 12 student. In their investigation, the police found that the father of this student is associated with some NGO. This NGO had once opposed the hanging of terrorist Afzal Guru. This NGO is also associated with a political party. Police have also talked about the use of dark web and VPN in this case.
