Police confirm bomb threat at Ghaziabad school is a hoax

A bomb threat at St Mary's School in Ghaziabad caused panic on Monday. The school received an email claiming a hydrogen explosive would target the school. Police investigated and confirmed the threat was a hoax after thorough checks. School staff alerted authorities after seeing the email. More than 80 police officers, including bomb squads, responded quickly. Students were kept safe in the playground while police searched the premises. The email, written in Tamil, referenced a political party. An FIR has been filed against unknown individuals for criminal intimidation. This incident follows a series of similar hoaxes affecting schools and other institutions in recent months.
