Threat mail to Delhi schools sent using Russian domain, Special Cell tracking IP address, location

A probe into the ‘hoax‘ bomb threat that was sent to over 100 schools in the Delhi-NCR, has revealed that, currently, it appears that ‘some organization’ rather than a single person could be involved in the situation.

A total of 131 schools in Delhi received threat emails on Wednesday.

According to Delhi police sources, the investigation seems to be part of a big conspiracy. “The timing of elections, taking data from so many schools, using Russian IP addresses using VPNs–all these are pointing towards a conspiracy,” the sources said.

As per the sources, the investigative agency is also investigating whether ISI may be involved or if there may be a joint conspiracy between China and ISI. “It is believed that the reason behind China’s name is because of its strong server, but the investigation is still at a very early stage,” the sources added.

Special Cell sources, however, stated that the threat mail is being looked at from all possible directions in order to determine the true cause of the alarm and identify the mastermind.

In connection with the threatening emails sent to schools, the Delhi Police Special Cell has also filed a formal complaint (FIR) against an undisclosed individual under Section 120B of the IPC and IPC 506. The Special Cell’s Counter Intelligence Team will conduct the inquiry.
