Panic gripped several schools in Shimla on Monday after they received bomb threat emails warning of explosives planted on campus, police officials said.
Following the threats, school authorities promptly alerted the police, who evacuated students and staff as a precautionary measure. Teams conducted extensive searches of the premises, but no suspicious objects were found.
Parents were informed immediately, leading many to rush to schools to take their children home. Bomb disposal squads were also deployed and carried out mock drills to ensure preparedness and safety.
Senior Superintendent of Police Gaurav Singh said efforts are underway to trace the origin of the email. The threat message did not include any identifying details, making the investigation more challenging.
Authorities have assured the public that all necessary precautions were taken and the situation remains under control.
