Mumbai Police receive email threatening to bomb two international schools

Two international schools in Govandi and Kandivali have received emails threatening to bomb them. The police have taken the incident seriously and have registered cases against unknown persons in three different police stations. The search for the accused in this case is on.

An email was received on Saturday threatening to bomb Ryan International School in Thakur Complex in Kandivali East. In this case, Samata Nagar police have registered a case against an unknown person for creating fear by making threats. It has been found that there is no truth in the threat. The accused had created an email ID named Divij Prabhakar Lakshmi for this purpose. 

The police are using technology to track down the person using that email ID. The police suspect that there is a scam behind this case.

After Kandivali, a bomb threat has also been received against Kanakia International School in Govandi by the same person named Divij Prabhakar Lakshmi. Therefore, it is suspected that the same person is involved in both these cases. 

A case has been registered at Deonar police station on Sunday, June 15 in this regard. A case has been registered under the Indian Penal Code and the Information Technology Protection Act for making false threats to create an atmosphere of fear by disturbing public peace. Considering the seriousness of these cases, the Crime Branch of Mumbai Police is also conducting a parallel investigation into the matter.
