Bomb Threats at Ahmedabad Schools
Twelve schools in Ahmedabad, India, got scary emails saying there might be bombs.
The police came to check the schools with special teams and dogs, but they didn't find anything dangerous.
The schools had already finished their morning classes, so they told the kids to go home early.
The police are now trying to find out who sent the emails.
Some schools used this as a practice drill, while others said the kids were happy to have a holiday.
The schools will be open as usual the next day.
At least 12 private schools in Ahmedabad received bomb threat emails on Wednesday morning.
Police, along with bomb detection and disposal squads, dog squads, and anti-sabotage teams, conducted a thorough search but found nothing suspicious.
Schools declared a holiday for the afternoon shift as a precautionary measure and alerted parents to pick up their children early.
Cybercrime teams and the Crime Branch are investigating the source of the emails.
Some schools that did not receive the threat email also declared evacuation as a precautionary measure and issued messages to parents.
