Police personnel leave a school that received bomb threat over email in New Delhi on December 13, 2024. The Delhi Police claimed on Tuesday (January 14, 2025) that a Class 12 student, who was recently to more than 400 city schools, is linked to an NGO that supports a political party.
A police officer further said that during the investigation, they also got to know that the NGO had voiced support for Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru. “We were tracking e-mails and because of a virtual private network (VPN), it was difficult to track the origins. We also had to ascertain whether there was a terror angle to it,” Special Commissioner of Police (Law and Oder) Madhup Tiwari told a press conference at the police headquarters New Delhi.He added that service providers were not able to help police because of the use of the VPN.
“Our teams tracked the minor after recent e-mails on January 8. As the e-mail sender was a juvenile, the team took his laptop and mobile phone for a forensic examination,” the officer said. Police teams tracked 400 threat e-mails sent by the minor. They also checked the background of his father, who has been working with an NGO, and found out that the organisation is part of a civil society group that has been raising issues regarding the hanging of Afzal Guru and is also helping a political party.
