It’s Thursday morning, January 29, 2026, and if you’re a parent in the National Capital Region, your morning coffee probably came with a side of panic. At least five schools in Delhi received bomb threats today, just 24 hours after a similar wave hit Gurugram and Chandigarh.
The thing is, this is starting to look like a coordinated effort to disrupt the city. Or nothing.

The Delhi School Threats: Field Notes
It’s an ongoing situation where schools are becoming the frontline for digital hoaxes. Here’s the ground reality:
-
The Schools Affected: Threats were sent via email to Loreto Convent (Delhi Cantt), Don Bosco (CR Park), Carmel Convent (Anand Niketan and Dwarka), and Sardar Patel Vidyalaya (Lodhi Estate). The emails reportedly landed around 1:42 AM. Those too.
-
The Evacuation Drills: By 8:30 AM, campuses were being cleared. Sardar Patel Vidyalaya was one of the first to give the “all clear” after a thorough sweep by the bomb squad. They told parents: “Classes will continue as usual.” Let’s be real—trying to get a 7-year-old to focus on math after a bomb drill is a tall order.
-
The “Amber Durham” Connection: Yesterday, 12 schools in Gurugram and 26 in Chandigarh received emails from a sender named “Amber Durham.” The thing is, police have traced these emails to servers in the United States. They aren’t ruling out a group called “Terrorisers111” that has been haunting school inboxes since late 2025.
-
The “Hoax” Pattern: Every single check today has come up empty. No explosives, no suspicious items. Just a lot of scared kids and frustrated parents. And here’s the kicker—this happened just a day after the Dwarka Court was evacuated for a similar threat that claimed links to a Khalistani group. Or nothing.

Delhi Bomb Threat Status (Jan 29, 2026)
| School Name | Location | Current Status |
| Loreto Convent | Delhi Cantonment | Swept & Cleared. |
| Don Bosco | CR Park | Swept & Cleared. |
| Sardar Patel Vidyalaya | Lodhi Estate | Resumed Classes. |
| Carmel Convent | Anand Niketan | Swept & Cleared. |
| Carmel Convent | Dwarka Sec-23 | Swept & Cleared. |
And Here’s the Kicker…
The timing is suspicious. The threats came just days after Republic Day 2026 and amidst high-profile discussions about the India-EU FTA. The thing is, the police are now registering cases underBNS Section 113(2)(b) (cyber terrorism). They aren’t treating these as “kids playing a prank” anymore. Those too.
One side comment—if you’re a parent, keep an eye on your school’s official WhatsApp group. Most schools are choosing to stay open after the police sweep, but some in Gurugram switched to online classes for the rest of the week just to be safe. It’s an ongoing situation. Or nothing.
