Bomb Threats at St. Stephen’s College, Delhi & Noida Schools; Authorities Conduct Searches

February 7, 2025, 11:25 am

Two schools in Noida and Delhi, along with St. Stephen’s College, received bomb threats via email on Friday, prompting immediate action by authorities. Bomb disposal teams and dog squads were deployed to the locations.

Following standard safety protocols, the campuses were swiftly evacuated and closed. The police are currently conducting a detailed search to ensure security.

Schools promptly notified parents about the situation, alerting them to the potential risk. One school’s message stated, “We are closing the campus down for the day to conduct complete a sweep to ensure safety of all.” Parents were advised to keep their children at home, and those already en route were sent back. The affected institutions include Ahlcon International School in Mayur Vihar Phase 1 and Shiv Nadar School in Noida.

Delhi Police also confirmed that St. Stephen’s College at Delhi University had received a similar bomb threat via email. In a statement, authorities said, “Today at 07:42 AM a bomb threat via email was received to St. Stephen’s College. Our Bomb Disposal Team is at the spot.”

Threats Follow Hoax Case Arrest

These threats come just a day after the arrest of a 15-year-old Class 9 student who had allegedly sent fake bomb threat emails to four Noida schools.

Police revealed that the student used a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to mask his location and IP address, reportedly to avoid attending school. He was taken into custody and presented before the Juvenile Court.

Noida DCP Ram Badan Singh told PTI, “Four schools of Noida — Step By Step, The Heritage School, Gyanshree and Mayoor School — got an email of bomb threat at about 12:30 am on Wednesday. After that on Wednesday, the school administration checked the email and informed police about the bomb threat.”

Noida Schools Receive Bomb Threats, Authorities Launch Probe

February 5, 2025, 10:37 am

Several bomb threats were sent through mail prompting the evacuation of several Noida schools on Wednesday. Among the schools were Step by Step School and Heritage School.

The authorities immediately responded by asking the children to go home and informing the police. Authorities conducted thorough investigations and declared the threats as hoaxes.

Law enforcement officers arrived at the scene and conducted an exhaustive investigation. Security teams, including bomb disposal squads, were deployed to check the entire area for potential threats. The officials have not confirmed the origin of the emails but are taking the matter seriously.

“We are investigating the source of these threats and ensuring the safety of all students and staff,” said an official.

Authorities have urged parents to remain calm while they continue their probe. Schools are expected to resume normal operations after clearance from security teams.

What Is Swatting? The Dangerous Tactic Targeting Trump’s Incoming Cabinet

November 28, 2024, 12:03 pm

Several members of President-elect Donald Trump’s cabinet and administration nominees faced bomb threats and “swatting” incidents earlier this week, which led to concern, prompting swift action by the law enforcement agencies, said a spokesperson for the transition team on Wednesday.

Threats Escalate in the Transition Period

On Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, prominent figures within Trump’s incoming administration were targeted by threats. According to Karoline Leavitt, a transition team spokesperson, local law enforcement was quickly mobilised to ensure the safety of the individuals affected. The phenomenon of “swatting” has raised alarm because of its dangerous nature, although bomb threats themselves are relatively common.

The FBI also acknowledged awareness of the numerous bomb threats and “swatting” incidents, stating they are collaborating with law enforcement agencies to address the situation.

What Is ‘Swatting’?

“Swatting” refers to the act of falsely reporting emergencies, typically to police, with the intention of provoking a heavy, armed response. Often, this results in the deployment of a SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team to the location, creating a situation that can escalate rapidly. The individuals behind these hoaxes often use technology to disguise their identity, making it appear as if the call is coming from the victim themselves.

Experts believe swatting is increasingly being used as a form of intimidation or harassment, especially targeting high-profile individuals, including political figures, celebrities, and other prominent personalities. Law enforcement officials stress the serious consequences of swatting, which, although sometimes considered a prank, can have dangerous and costly repercussions.

A Serious Crime with Dangerous Consequences

In 2013, the FBI issued a public warning about the crime of swatting, explaining its growing frequency and the potentially harmful consequences. According to the FBI, individuals who engage in swatting are often serial offenders involved in other cyber crimes, such as identity theft or credit card fraud. These perpetrators typically either want to seek revenge or make a spectacle of their actions, often within online communities where anonymity is guaranteed.

FBI Assistant Special Agent Kevin Kolbye emphasized the importance of reporting any swatting threats to authorities. Swatting incidents often emerge from online gaming platforms, where individuals can anonymously challenge others. Kolbye added that if law enforcement has prior knowledge of a possible hoax, it could prevent a violent or unsafe confrontation during a real 9-1-1 response.

“The FBI takes swatting very seriously,” Kolbye stated. “Through continued cooperation with industry and law enforcement partners, we are refining our investigative techniques and technological capabilities to combat these crimes.”

Impact on Public Safety

Swatting incidents put innocent people at significant risk, according to the FBI. In the case of the threats targeting Trump’s administration nominees, swift police intervention helped mitigate potential harm, but the broader implications of such hoaxes are clear: swatting is a crime with real-world, dangerous consequences. As law enforcement agencies continue to tackle this issue, experts urge vigilance against such criminal activity.

Bomb Threats Target 23 Hotels Across Three States Following Recent Flight Scares | WATCH

October 27, 2024, 5:51 pm

On Saturday, several hotels in Kolkata, Tirupati, and Rajkot faced bomb threats sent through emails, prompting major security measures and evacuations.

Over 20 Hotels Across Three States Face Hoax Bomb Threats

Across Kolkata, Tirupati, and Rajkot, more than 20 hotels were on high alert after receiving bomb threats, which ultimately proved to be hoaxes. This wave of threats follows recent similar hoaxes directed at flights and airports, sparking fears that such incidents are spreading to other areas during the festive season.

In Kolkata, at least 10 well-known hotels, including high-end establishments, received threatening emails while Home Minister Amit Shah was in West Bengal. Bomb squads carried out exhaustive searches but found no explosives. According to a police official, the emails resembled those sent in similar school threats earlier in the year. Kolkata Police informed central security agencies, given the numerous threats directed at flights recently. The email sender, under the alias “Reality Is Fake,” warned, “I have planted bombs on the grounds of your hotel. The bombs are hidden in black bags. They will detonate soon. You have little time to live. Evacuate.”

In Tirupati, three hotels received similar threats on Saturday, totaling four incidents over the last two days. Although each turned out to be a hoax, the threats followed a consistent pattern. Emails referenced Jaffer Sadiq, an alleged drug kingpin arrested in July, as well as Tamil Nadu Deputy CM Udayanidhi Stalin’s wife Kiruthiga and TN DGP Shankar Jiwal. A chilling message stated, “Afzal Guru will be re-born! Al-Badr!”—a nod to the 2001 Parliament attack convict executed in 2013—and claimed that Andhra CM N. Chandrababu Naidu’s car was linked to hotel “IEDs.”

In Rajkot, Gujarat, 10 hotels received similar emails around 12:45 PM on Saturday. Each email, signed by “Kan Din,” warned of upcoming explosions. Rajkot DCP Parthrajsinh Gohil confirmed that detailed searches were conducted, but no suspicious items were found.

Bomb Threats Target Over 25 Flights, Prompting Heightened Security Measures

October 25, 2024, 7:55 pm

More than 25 domestic and international flights operated by Indian carriers received bomb threats on Friday, as the wave of hoax threats targeting the aviation sector continues.

Flights operated by IndiGo, Vistara, SpiceJet, and Air India were among those affected. IndiGo alone reported threats against flights including 6E 87 (Kozhikode to Dammam), 6E 2099 (Udaipur to Delhi), 6E 11 (Delhi to Istanbul), 6E 58 (Jeddah to Mumbai), 6E 17 (Mumbai to Istanbul), 6E 108 (Hyderabad to Chandigarh), and 6E 133 (Pune to Jodhpur).

“Flight 6E 2099, scheduled from Udaipur to Delhi, was relocated to the isolation bay before take-off as per security guidelines. All passengers were safely disembarked,” said an IndiGo spokesperson.

Threat Surge Overwhelms Airlines

In the past 12 days, Indian carriers have reported over 275 bomb threats, primarily originating from social media. Hoaxes have led to delays, diversions, and extensive searches, impacting operational efficiency and passenger schedules.

On Thursday, the Centre instructed social media platforms, including Meta and X, to cooperate in sharing data on individuals behind hoax threats. A source from a recent IT Ministry meeting stated, “The Ministry asked social media companies to promptly provide information related to these threats.”

Recent Security Incidents

Escalating threats have also resulted in serious incidents. Last week, Royal Air Force fighter jets intercepted an Air India flight from Mumbai to London after a bomb threat. Similarly, Singapore Armed Forces scrambled fighter jets to escort an Air India Express flight from Madurai, and the Nepalese Army deployed a bomb squad to Kathmandu airport following a threat to a Vistara flight from Delhi.

Bomb Threats Target 10 More IndiGo Flights, Total Surpasses 120 In Just Over A Week

October 22, 2024, 5:25 pm

Bomb scares against Indian airlines continued on Tuesday as 10 IndiGo flights, both domestic and international, received fresh bomb threats, the airline said.

The affected IndiGo flights included 6E-63 Delhi-Jeddah, 6E-12 Istanbul-Delhi, 6E-83 Delhi-Dammam, 6E-65 Kozhikode-Jeddah, 6E-67 Hyderabad-Jeddah, 6E-77 Bengaluru-Jeddah, 6E-18 Istanbul-Mumbai, 6E-164 Mangalore-Mumbai, 6E-118 Lucknow-Pune, and 6E-75 Ahmedabad-Jeddah, the airline confirmed.

At IndiGo, the safety of our customers and crew remains paramount in all facets of our operations,” the carrier said, adding that “standard operating procedures were followed” and that it had worked closely with the relevant authorities. “We sincerely regret any inconvenience it may have caused our customers and appreciate their understanding,” it added.

Sources in the airlines also confirmed that apart from IndiGo, 10 Vistara flights were sounded by security agencies on Monday and Tuesday, leading to full-scale security checks at airports and flights.

A Vistara spokesperson said, “We confirm that some of Vistara’s flights operating on 21 October 2024 received security threats on social media. We have informed the authorities, and are strictly following all security procedures as mandated by them. Safety and security of our customers, crew, and aircraft are always Vistara’s top priorities.”

Reports said about 30 flights, both domestic and international, remained grounded or were made turnaround Monday due to bomb threats. Flights operated by IndiGo, Vistara, and Air India among others were affected, causing significant disruption in the aviation operation throughout the week.

More than 120 flights operated by Indian carriers faced bomb threats in just over a week. Even though most of those were hoaxes, the airlines had to follow stern protocols, which indeed led to operational challenges.

This menace should be taken seriously,” Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu said while speaking about the issue. “The government will move an amendment to the aviation security rules which will provide for the stipulation of life imprisonment for those who concoct false bomb threat and post them on social media and also put them on a no-fly list.”.

Naidu also revealed that the government was set to prepare legislative measures to check the growing number of bomb threats that have been scaring airlines, airports, and passengers. Amendments were being proposed to Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against Safety of Civil Aviation Act, 1982, where severe punishment would be provided.

We have another act in place since 1980s, we need to cover the offences on ground and at airports, said Naidu, adding that the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) is in ongoing communication with the home ministry to address the current wave of bomb threats.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation has now recommended that bomb threats, even from ground, should receive life imprisonment; this will expand the provisions already included in the law provisions, which the current law already includes onboard.

Govt Considers Legislative Measures Against Hoax Bomb Threats, Aiming to Place Perpetrators on No-Fly List

October 21, 2024, 4:06 pm

In response to a surge in bomb threats targeting Indian airlines, the government is contemplating new legislative measures to enhance aviation security. Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu Kinjarapu announced that the administration aims to place individuals responsible for such threats on a no-fly list.

This announcement comes in the wake of approximately 100 flights receiving bomb threats within the past week. Addressing the media in the national capital, Naidu outlined two primary areas for potential legislative action.

Proposed Legislative Changes

“We have identified two approaches we can explore. First, we are looking at amending the Aircraft Security Rules. One of the proposals is to include individuals responsible for such threats on the no-fly list. Second, we are examining amendments to the Suppression of Unlawful Acts Against Safety of Civil Aviation Act, 1982,” he stated.

The minister emphasized the need for close coordination between the Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS) and the Ministry of Home Affairs to address the escalating threats. “We are continuously working with the Home Ministry to monitor and respond to these incidents,” Naidu assured.

The recent wave of threats commenced earlier this week when hoax bomb alerts were issued for three international flights operated by Indian carriers, raising concerns about aviation security.

Over 20 Flights Hit By Bomb Threats On Sunday, Details Inside

October 20, 2024, 5:44 pm

Over 20 flights operated by Indian airlines received bomb threats, according to sources.
Flights operated by IndiGo, Vistara, Air India, and Akasa Air received the threat calls. Among them were domestic flight schedules as well as international ones. Sources confirmed that six such threat calls involved flights operated by IndiGo, Vistara, and Air India.

IndiGo has also mentioned the flight numbers that it operates: 6E58 (Jeddah to Mumbai), 6E87 (Kozhikode to Dammam), 6E11 (Delhi to Istanbul), 6E17 (Mumbai to Istanbul), 6E133 (Pune to Jodhpur), and 6E112 (Goa to Ahmedabad).

Vistara confirmed security threats to six of its flights: UK25 (Delhi to Frankfurt), UK106 (Singapore to Mumbai), UK146 (Bali to Delhi), UK116 (Singapore to Delhi), UK110 (Singapore to Pune), and UK107 (Mumbai to Singapore). “As per the protocols, all the concerned authorities have been informed promptly and security operations, as ordered by them, are being carried out,” stated the airline.

Akasa Air stated that it had received security alerts on Sunday, saying: “We are following all safety and security procedures in coordination with local authorities.”

Though sources confirm that at least six flights of Air India were similarly threatened, the airline hasn’t given its comment.

More than 90 flights have received bomb threats this week to date, though most of them have turned out to be hoaxes.

Bomb Threats Impact Indian Airlines: Understanding the Costs of Hoaxes

October 19, 2024, 2:43 pm

The recent spate of bomb threats targeting Indian airlines has imposed significant logistical and financial burdens. For the fifth consecutive day, fake threats disrupted operations, leading to the diversion of a Vistara flight from Delhi to London, which landed safely in Frankfurt for mandatory security checks.

In the last few days, nearly 40 flights operated by Indian airlines have received bomb threats that ultimately turned out to be hoaxes. This alarming trend has resulted in major financial repercussions, with airline officials estimating losses in the crores of rupees.

One notable incident involved a Boeing 777 flying from Mumbai to New York’s JFK Airport on October 14, which was forced to divert to Delhi shortly after takeoff due to a bomb threat. The aircraft, carrying 200 passengers and nearly 130 tonnes of jet fuel, had to dump over 100 tonnes of fuel to land safely, costing the airline approximately ₹1 crore ($120,000) just in fuel wastage.

The financial fallout from such hoaxes extends beyond fuel costs. The total expenses, including unscheduled landing fees, passenger accommodations, aircraft grounding, and crew replacements, are projected to exceed ₹3 crore ($360,000).

Another severe case occurred on October 15, when an Air India Boeing 777 en route from Delhi to Chicago was diverted to the remote Canadian town of Iqaluit due to a bomb threat. The aircraft, with over 200 passengers on board, was grounded for three and a half days before finally reaching Chicago. To facilitate the passengers’ travel, the airline had to charter a Canadian Air Force plane, further escalating costs. Daily rental fees for a Boeing 777 range from $17,000 to $20,000, adding another layer to the financial strain. The total cost for this incident alone is expected to exceed ₹15-20 crore ($1.8-2.4 million).

Government Response and Future Actions

In response to the increasing number of hoax bomb threats, Civil Aviation Minister K. Rammohan Naidu has announced that the ministry is considering amendments to civil aviation regulations to enforce stricter penalties against offenders. “We are taking these threats seriously and will take action,” Naidu stated, emphasizing the need for a review of international regulations to effectively address such incidents.

Additionally, the ministry is contemplating placing individuals responsible for bomb threats on a no-fly list and exploring legislative changes if necessary. Currently, actions against hoax bomb threats are pursued by law enforcement under criminal laws.

How Passengers Should Respond To Bomb Threats On Flights

October 16, 2024, 6:53 pm

It has been a rollercoaster ride for airlines, passengers, airports, security, and government officials over the last three days when over 10 flights have been diverted due to bomb threats. From a Boeing 777 landing at Iqaluit Airport in Canada to fighter jets escorting an aircraft near Singapore, this week has followed no other rhythm of action on these matters. As cases of investigation into the source of the threats and possible preventive measures unfold, one thing is for sure: there’s no tolerance at all for such threats; a position reaffirmed by the head of India’s Bureau of Civil Aviation Security (BCAS).

The following airlines have been hit: IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express, Akasa Air, SpiceJet, and Alliance Air. These ground and airborne threats made passengers sit in the cold without a place of stay, witness fighter jets flying alongside their aircrafts, and get stuck on isolated bays knowing that a bomb threat is to arrive. Old people, babies, and persons who need special attention had high levels of anxiety since they required certain care, food, and medication within the incidents.

Despite some being hoaxes in other cases, every threat is taken seriously and followed with impeccable standard protocols. What raises a question from such frequent threats is whether it is part of a larger strategy to test preparedness among authorities or if it is simply a means of system fatigue or striking at the economy.

What constitutes a threat?

A threat is anything detail received by personnel or the public, usually through call centers, airports, or social media sites. The airline is also prepared with instructions on what that incident should be handled at and noted to ensure all the required details are passed to the various security departments. Security committees get triggered to handle the incident. In this case, both the airline and airport representatives update everyone in the situation.

What are the steps for passengers?

These can be some very tough moments for the passengers. Co-ordination between the crew and security teams, orderly disembarkation, and provision of special attention to infants, children, pregnant women, and senior citizens. Passengers also need to be observant and report suspect activity discreetly to the cabin crew, as such information may help in the investigations especially where the threats are not accessible like the washroom. First of all, passengers should not panic and stop the circulation of rumors about certain information without verification, allowing the security team to solve the situation correctly.

Do passengers have any rights in such situations?

Bomb threats fall under “force majeure,” and they are situations that are out of the airline’s control. The airline is excused from giving compensation in such scenarios. Security teams take over during such cases, and there may be a possible delay in getting the checked luggage of passengers till more security checks are done. Requests for medication and baby food, which are vital, are given priority, but obtaining accommodations or providing extra meals may depend on the strength of the threat and the availability of resources and facilities in the airport.

It is very important to conduct an inquiry and punish the culprits. Though hoax calls were made in the past for such frivolous reasons as preventing friends or family members from traveling, the current spate of incidents seems more organized, giving a hint that some elements are orchestrating this effort.

4 Delhi Hospitals Receive Bomb Threats Emails After Scare At Schools

May 14, 2024, 1:53 pm

At least four hospitals in Delhi, including Deepchand Bandhu Hospital, Dada Dev Hospital, Hedgewar Hospital and GTB Hospital, received bomb threat calls on Tuesday morning, May 14.

The development comes two days after Indira Gandhi International (IGI) Airport and over half a dozen government hospitals in Delhi received bomb threats through email.

According to Delhi Police, the IGI Airport received a bomb threat through email from an unidentified account on May 12.

The sender threatened the presence of an explosive device inside the premises.

Similar mails were received at two government hospitals, including Burari Government Hospital, and Mangolpuri’s Sanjay Gandhi Hospital. The Delhi Police has launched a probe into the matter.

The list of these hospitals includes – Dada Dev Hospital in Dabri, Deen Dayal Upadhyay (DDU) Hospital in Hari Nagar, Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital in Dilshad Garden, Hindu Rao Hospital of Malka Ganj, and Aruna Asaf Ali Govt Hospital of Rajpur Road.

These bomb threat emails come nearly two weeks after over 150 schools in Delhi-NCR received bomb threats that sparked panic among parents.

However, the ministry of home affairs (MHA) issued an official statement calling the email a “hoax”.

Centre Calls for Better SOP, Proper Monitoring of Emails to Cope with Hoax Bomb Threats

May 7, 2024, 1:59 am

Following hoax bomb threats targeting several schools in Delhi-NCR, the Union home ministry emphasized the importance of devising a detailed protocol and standard operating procedures (SOP) to handle such situations. The home secretary urged close coordination between the Delhi Police and schools to prevent unnecessary panic stemming from misinformation.

Additionally, the ministry stressed the necessity of bolstering security measures, including the installation of CCTV cameras and regular monitoring of emails in schools. The meeting, attended by the chief secretary and Delhi Police commissioner, underscored the imperative for an effective response mechanism to counter misinformation-induced panic.

Earlier in the week, over 200 schools in Delhi-NCR faced identical bomb threat emails, leading to widespread evacuations and searches. Despite extensive efforts by authorities, including the deployment of PCR vehicles and coordination with various agencies, the threats were ultimately deemed a mass hoax.

Investigations revealed that the emails were sent using a virtual private network (VPN) with data rerouted through foreign servers, including one operated by a Russian company.

On a related note, 16 schools in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, also received hoax bomb threat emails, with initial findings indicating a possible link to Russia, mirroring the modus operandi observed in the Delhi incidents.

Bomb Threats Cause Panic at Tamil Nadu Schools, Police Investigate

March 4, 2024, 11:11 am

Two schools in Tamil Nadu recently faced bomb threats, causing fear among students, staff, and parents. The schools involved were the PSBB Millennium School in Coimbatore and a private school in Kancheepuram district.

The PSBB Millennium School received a threatening email on Sunday night, while the second school received a hoax call on Monday morning. Prompt action was taken by the police and a bomb squad, who quickly arrived at the PSBB Millennium School to conduct an investigation. Fortunately, no explosives were found on the premises.

A video taken outside the PSBB Millennium School showed police questioning individuals, and empty school buses entering the campus. Authorities are currently investigating to determine the source of the threatening email and hoax call.

Given that class 11 exams are ongoing, the police have stepped up security at both schools. Only individuals who have undergone thorough checks are being allowed entry onto the premises.
