Mumbai school receives bomb threat from group claiming to be ‘Afzal Gang’

23 January,2025 05:55 PM IST

A school in Mumbai received a bomb threat email on Thursday, which led to an immediate security response. The email claimed a bomb had been planted at the Global Ryan School in the Jogeshwari-Oshiwara area. Following this, the police and local authorities quickly arrived at the school. The bomb squad and explosive detection teams are currently searching the premises for any potential threat. However, as of now, no bomb has been found. The email mentioned that the Afzal gang was responsible for planting the bomb, and investigations are ongoing to find out more about the threat. Authorities are working to ensure the safety of everyone at the school and resolve the situation.. The recent bomb threat at the Global Ryan School comes just days after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in Mumbai also received a bomb threat email. The email, written in Russian, was sent to RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra`s official address and threatened to blow up the bank. Bomb threats have become a growing issue for schools across India, though most turn out to be hoaxes. Earlier this week, two schools near Erode, Tamil Nadu, received similar bomb threat emails, leading to the evacuation of students while authorities conducted a thorough search. After several hours, the threat was confirmed to be false. In Delhi, the police have recently investigated a wave of hoax bomb threats targeting over 400 schools.
