Bomb Threats Prompt School Closures in Ahmedabad

Schools in Ahmedabad were closed following bomb threat emails, as police initiated safety measures including investigations by the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad. Recent similar threats in other regions raise concerns over their source and credibility.

Several schools in Ahmedabad received bomb threat emails on Wednesday, prompting authorities to close schools as a precautionary measure, according to local police.

Inspector LL Chavda of Vastrapur Police Department stated that upon receiving the threatening emails, immediate measures were implemented to safeguard students and staff. Security teams are conducting thorough inspections, while specialized squads investigate the threats' origins and credibility.

Authorities reaffirmed their commitment to ensuring public safety and maintaining order. The incident mirrors recent threats in Jalandhar, Amritsar, and Delhi, where schools faced similar threats that were later determined to be hoaxes.
