A complaint has been registered, and an investigation is underway to trace the origin of the threat, a police official stated.

Earlier, on February 7, St Stephen’s College and two schools—one in Delhi and another in Noida—received similar bomb threats via email.

A series of hoax bomb threats have caused panic in the National Capital since May last year, targeting schools, hospitals, and colleges.

Moreover, the police had previously arrested a Class 12 student for sending such threat emails to educational institutions.
