In a shocking turn of events, a Class 12 student was detained for allegedly sending hoax bomb threat emails to multiple schools in Delhi. The student, sources reveal, devised the plan in a desperate attempt to avoid taking his school exams.

Investigations revealed that the student had sent bomb threats on at least six occasions, each time targeting different schools except his own. Officials reported that in one instance, he tagged 23 schools in a single email to divert suspicion from himself.

According to police sources, the student believed that issuing bomb threats would lead to exam cancellations, allowing him to escape the stress of his studies. To make his threats appear credible, he targeted multiple schools and crafted emails designed to incite fear and chaos.
