Vadodara school closed after principal receives bomb threat

VADODARA: One of the reputed schools in the city got an email threatening a bomb blast early on Friday morning.

The principal of Navrachana International School in Bhayli received an email at around 4am that she read some time later. The principal immediately alerted the school management who called the police.


“The email read that bombs have been placed in the pipeline in the Navrachana schools. So, we alerted the officials of our other two schools in the city and informed the police. The cops carried out intensive search in all the three schools but found nothing suspicious. It was a hoax email,” said Tejal Amin, chairperson, Navrachana Education Society.

The management closed down the three schools for a day and informed the parents of all the students.

Nearly 150 policemen including the bomb squad carried out the search operation. Sources said that email also has some mention about the political situation in Tamil Nadu.

“We found nothing in the schools. The police are now trying to trace the person who sent the email,” said Leena Patil, additional police commissioner, Vadodara.
