Several schools in Delhi received bomb threats on Tuesday, prompting school authorities to evacuate the premises and triggering extensive search operations. Delhi Police teams were alerted after the affected schools reported receiving the threat emails between around 10:30 am and 10:45 am. Following this, bomb detection and disposal teams, sniffer dog squads and Delhi Fire Services personnel were deployed at the targeted schools, as reported by Hindustan Times.

The British School, Sardar Patel School, Springdales School and Air Force Bal Bharati School are among those that received the threats.

Sardar Patel Vidyalaya issued a notice to parents informing them about a security threat. "All students have been safely evacuated from the school premises. The police have been informed and are taking the necessary steps."

Parents said the school was holding the first day of its half-yearly examinations when the bomb threat prompted an immediate evacuation. Middle School students had already completed their examinations, while Senior School students had finished most of their exams.
