New Delhi [India], August 18 (ANI): Several schools in Delhi received threatening emails on Monday from a group identifying itself as the “Terrorisers 111 Group,” demanding a payment of $5,000 in cryptocurrency within 72 hours. The group warned that bombs would be detonated on school premises if the demand was not met, according to Delhi Police.
The email stated, “Pay $5,000 USD Crypto within 72 hours. If you don’t, we will detonate the bombs.” It further claimed, “We are the Terrorisers 111 Group. We have planted several pipe bombs and advanced explosive devices in your school buildings to cause terror and destruction. We have hacked your IT systems, including student and staff databases, and taken full control of your surveillance cameras. We are watching your every move.”
The message added, “If you don’t, we will detonate the bombs, causing massive harm and loss of life. We will also leak your hacked data online. Any attempt to contact the police or ignore this will trigger immediate action. The bombs will explode in 72 hours if payment isn’t received. Evacuate now to save lives. We don’t forgive. We don’t forget. Send the money or face the consequences.”
Schools that reportedly received the threat include Delhi Public School (DPS) Dwarka, Modern Convent School, and ShreeRam World School in Sector 10, Dwarka. As a safety precaution, all affected schools were promptly evacuated while police and bomb disposal teams conducted thorough searches of the premises.
Although previous bomb threats in the capital had turned out to be hoaxes, authorities are treating this threat seriously and following all necessary protocols.
Parents expressed concern and acted quickly upon receiving messages from the schools. One parent told ANI, “We received a message from the school to take the children back. They did not tell the reason, so we have come here to take back our child.” Another parent added, “We have received a message about a bomb threat at the school. The school said you can take your children back, so we have come here to take back our child.”
