Gurugram | Several Gurugram schools received another bomb threat emails on Wednesday morning, prompting police to launch searches on the premises.

At least 10 schools, including Shri Ram, Amity, and the HDFC school, received threatening emails at 8.33 am, when classes had already begun, police said.

The school administrations became aware of the threats around 9 am and immediately informed the police, a senior police officer said.

The schools immediately implemented emergency protocols, with many declaring a holiday and asking parents to take their children home safely, the officer said.

A large number of anxious parents gathered outside the schools, as police and bomb squad teams reached the spots and started checks.

"Around 10 schools have approached the police from morning until now over bomb threats. Police teams are alert and searches are underway on all the premises", the officer said.
