New Delhi, July 23
Two schools in Uttar Pradesh's Agra received bomb threats via email on Wednesday, triggering panic, swift evacuations, and a massive security response.
Though no explosives have been found so far, the threats -- sent under bizarre pseudonyms like 'Roadkill' and 'Silence' -- are being treated with utmost seriousness by authorities.
As soon as the alerts were received, police, bomb disposal squads, fire department officials, dog squads, and even personnel from Delhi Police rushed to the scenes.
Full-scale evacuations were conducted to ensure the safety of students and staff.
The emails were threatening in nature, claiming that Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate (PETN), a highly explosive material, had been planted inside the school buildings, according to the officials.
So far, nothing suspicious has been found during the search operations, but investigation is ongoing, the officials said.
