Delhi Schools Bomb Threat: Police Search Venkateshwar and Salwan Schools, Nothing Suspicious Found

Several schools in the national capital received bomb threats on Friday, prompting the Delhi Police and the fire department to launch search operations. No suspicious objects or incriminating evidence were found during the searches, and an investigation is underway to establish where the threats came from and how credible they were.

According to the Delhi Police, Venkateshwar Public School in Rohini and Salwan Public School in Mayur Vihar were among the institutions that received the threats. The fire department received calls regarding the two schools at around 9.37 a.m. and 9.57 a.m. respectively.

What Did the Threat to Salwan Public School Say?

Police said the threat received by Salwan Public School in Mayur Vihar mentioned a possible bomb attack on October 30. Following the alerts, police teams and fire department personnel rushed to the schools and began security checks, and the premises were thoroughly searched as a precautionary measure.

Nothing suspicious was found during the initial searches. The investigation is currently underway to establish the origin and credibility of the threats.

When Did Noida Schools Receive Similar Threats?

Earlier, on October 12, several schools in Noida, adjacent to Delhi, received bomb threats via email, triggering panic and heightened security measures. The institutions included Apeejay School, Step by Step School and Delhi Public School (DPS) GBN in Sector 16.

Following those threats, police and the local administration were alerted and security checks began immediately. Bomb disposal squads, dog squads, anti-sabotage teams and fire brigade personnel were deployed to search the premises, and the Gautam Buddh Nagar Police said station personnel acted at once and coordinated with other agencies. No suspicious objects or materials were recovered in those searches either.

Why Do Repeated School Threats Worry Parents and Police?

Repeated bomb threats targeting schools in Delhi and the surrounding National Capital Region have raised concerns among law enforcement agencies, school administrations, students and parents. Such threats trigger emergency security protocols and disrupt regular academic activities.

Authorities say every threat has to be treated as real until a full search is complete, which is why investigations to trace the source of the messages and ensure the safety of students and staff continue after each such alert.
