Holiday declared in the school…
On Friday, 24 January 2025, a private school in Vadodara received an email at 4 am threatening to blow up the campus with a bomb, police said.
After receiving the bomb threat, school authorities immediately called the parents and declared a holiday for students and staff to ensure everyone’s safety.
"All agencies are actively investigating the matter. Several schools in other states also received similar threat emails on Thursday. The authorities are taking no risk. The whole building has been sanitized, and the cyber cell is also trying to trace the email's origin," a senior police official said.
While cops have confirmed that there is no credibility of such threats, the Vadodara Police have emphasized that ensuring public safety remains at the top of their priorities.
Further updates will depend on the findings from the cyber team's ongoing investigation into the threat emails, police further added.
