Bomb Threats Evacuate Schools and RTO
On a Monday, some schools in Jalandhar and the RTO office in Mangaluru, India, got scary messages saying there might be bombs.
The schools and the RTO office quickly asked everyone to leave, and the police came to check.
They looked everywhere but didn't find anything dangerous.
The police are now trying to find out who sent the messages.
A few weeks ago, something similar happened in another city, Amritsar, but that turned out to be a fake threat.
Parents were told there was a problem with the electricity, so they went to pick up their kids.
The police are working hard to keep everyone safe.
Bomb threats received via email by school principals in Jalandhar and the RTO office in Mangaluru, causing panic and evacuations.
Authorities evacuated students, parents, and RTO staff, and conducted anti-sabotage checks and thorough searches.
No suspicious items were found during the searches in both incidents.
Cyber Police teams and the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad are tracking the source of the threatening emails.
Similar bomb threats were received by other schools in the area and the RTO office, which later turned out to be hoaxes.
