More Than 20 Delhi Schools Receive Bomb Threat, Investigation Underway
More than 20 schools in Delhi reportedly received bomb threats via email on Friday, Delhi police said. The latest incident follows similar threats earlier in the week. On Wednesday, five schools in Delhi, including St Thomas School in Dwarka, Vasant Valley School in Vasant Kunj, Mother's International School in Hauz Khas, Richmond Global School in Paschim Vihar and Sardar Patel Vidyalaya in Lodhi Estate received bomb threats via email. On Tuesday, Thomas School in Delhi's Dwarka and St. Stephen's College of the University of Delhi received bomb threats. The threat was sent to the Delhi Police via email at 7:15 AM. In the case of St. Stephen's College, the mail stated that a bomb had been planted in the library. Soon after the alerts were raised, teams from the Delhi Police Bomb Disposal Squad, Dog Squad, Fire Brigade, and Special Staff were dispatched to both locations. However, no suspicious items were recovered from either institution. On Monday, three schools in the national capital -- CRPF School in Prashant Vihar, CRPF School in Dwarka Sector 16, and another school in Chanakyapuri, were targeted with similar bomb threats. Police noted that the email received by the Chanakyapuri school contained anti-Tamil Nadu government content. In all instances, bomb squads were deployed and extensive searches were carried out, but each threat was ultimately determined to be a hoax. Meanwhile, on the same day, Punjab's Golden Temple in Amritsar also received a threatening email. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), the apex religious body of Sikhs, reported the incident to the authorities. The email reportedly threatened to blow up the langar hall (community kitchen) of the revered Darbar Sahib.

TN CM MK Stalin rejects Delhi's control over Tamil Nadu; says Dravidian model has people's mandate and will continue beyond 2026
SALEM: Tamil Nadu cheif minister M.K. Stalin said during a government event in Salem on Thursday that proud Tamils will never let New Delhi rule the state. 'The people endorse a Dravidian model government that can uplift Tamil Nadu despite obstacles and steer through difficulties. This support will persist in 2026, just as it is currently,' CM Stalin said. He was responding to Union Home Minister Amit Shah 's recent remarks during his Madurai visit, where Shah accused the DMK government of altering Union government schemes and preventing the public from receiving benefits. Stalin countered the claims by saying, 'However, the reality is that the state government is allocating additional funds, contending that the drinking water and housing construction initiatives cannot advance with the budget provided by the Union government.' He added that the state government is funding over 50 percent of the cost for projects that are named after the Prime Minister. Quoting a line from the film Padayappa, Stalin remarked that just as the groom in the film wears a shirt that belongs to someone else, the state is also financing Union government projects. He further accused the Union government of trying to suppress and undermine Tamil Nadu's heritage. Stalin also criticised AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS), stating that the Leader of the Opposition has aligned himself with Delhi and lacks the courage to question them. 'The public is rejecting their coalition because they are marginalising Tamil Nadu with anti-Tamil Nadu sentiments and ideologies,' Stalin asserted, adding that the AIADMK and its allies are forming alliances just to safeguard their positions. He went on to say that when the rights of Tamil Nadu were taken away, the AIADMK and its allies remained silent and did not object to what he termed as the BJP's indirect rule in the state. 'Even now, Amit Shah is openly declaring that the BJP will form a coalition, yet he (EPS) stays silent, putting his own selfish interests first,' Stalin claimed, adding that EPS has betrayed his own party. He concluded by saying the public is well aware and will not be misled into accepting EPS again.
