AHMEDABAD: Several

schools

in Ahmedabad, including Asia school in Gurukul, Anand Niketan in Thaltej, DPS Bopal, HBK school in Memnagar, Zebar school in Thaltej, Cosmos Castle International school on SG road, and two Kendriya Vidyalayas in Chandkheda and Shahibaug cantonment, were sent a threatening

email

on Monday.

Ahmedabad city's police commissioner, GS Malik, informed TOI of the incident.

The email, sent from a Russian server, contained Arabic words and a message threatening to bomb the schools.

The police commissioner stated that the email was being investigated for its authenticity. The threat emerged just a day before Gujarat's polling for all 26 seats, including those in Ahmedabad. The sender of the email identified themselves as Tauheed Warrior and warned of attacks by "Istishhadi" across the city. The message expressed an intent to establish Sharia law in Gujarat and threatened violence against those who resisted.

In response to the threat, specialized teams, including the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad (BDDS), the city crime branch, and the Special Operations Group (SOG), have been mobilized to ensure the safety of the schools and to investigate the matter thoroughly.

This incident follows a recent pattern of threats, as approximately 150 schools in Delhi received similar

bomb threat

emails last week. The authorities are taking all necessary precautions to protect the students and staff of the schools and to prevent any potential harm. The investigation is ongoing, and efforts are being made to trace the source of the email and to decode the message. The police are treating the situation with utmost seriousness to maintain public safety and order.
