A private school in Delhi’s Rohini area was rattled on Friday morning after receiving an email threatening a bomb attack, a day after a low-intensity explosion injured one person in Prashant Vihar. However, after an extensive search operation, the threat was declared a hoax, according to the Delhi Fire Service (DFS).

The Delhi Police first informed the fire department about the bomb threat email at 10:57 a.m., triggering an immediate response. Teams from the DFS, Delhi Police, the bomb disposal squad, and a dog squad promptly arrived at the school to conduct a thorough investigation of the premises, an official said.
