Jaipur, July 21
A bomb threat email sent on late Sunday night to the official ID of Maheshwari Girls Public School (MGPS), Vidyadhar Nagar, Jaipur, triggered panic and swift emergency response on Monday morning.
Police said that the email, received at 12.25 a.m., carried a chilling message: "The bomb is in our body. We will be martyred and attain heaven."
The threat was discovered when school authorities checked the mail around 9.15 a.m. and immediately informed the police.
In a prompt response, more than 3,500 students were safely evacuated from the school within half an hour. Police teams from multiple stations, along with the bomb disposal squad and dog squad, reached the campus and conducted a thorough search. No suspicious object or explosive material was found.
Vidyadhar Nagar SHO Rakesh Khyalia confirmed that the email also mentioned that the bomb would be activated through contact with the RFID system in the school. “The school administration acted swiftly, and all students were safely evacuated. The cyber team is now investigating the origin of the email,” said SHO Khyalia.
This is not the first such incident in the city to be reported.
