Several prominent schools in Delhi faced a security scare on Friday morning, February 13, 2026. Authorities received bomb threats targeting institutions in Jhandewalan, Lodhi Estate, and other high-profile areas. The Delhi Police, along with the Bomb Disposal Squad and Dog Squads, immediately reached these locations to ensure the safety of students and staff.
Which Schools Received the Threat?
The panic began when the first alert came in at 9:13 AM regarding BD Tamil Education in Jhandewalan. Shortly after, other schools also reported receiving similar threatening emails. School administrations acted quickly to evacuate children from the classrooms to open grounds.
- BD Tamil Education (Jhandewalan)
- Sardar Patel Vidyalaya (Lodhi Estate)
- The British School (Chanakyapuri)
- Kendriya Vidyalaya (Gole Market)
- Delhi Tamil Education Association (Pusa Road)
Messages were sent to parents assuring them that students are safe. Classes were paused, and the police took control of the premises to conduct thorough anti-sabotage checks.
Police Investigation and Email Details
The Delhi Police Cyber Team is currently looking into the source of these threats. Preliminary investigations reveal that the emails were sent using a VPN to hide the actual location of the sender. The emails were written in Punjabi and sent from an anonymous account.
- The sender used the name “zachary jenkins” and claimed to be from the “Khalistan National Army.”
- The messages contained sensitive language about “Afzal Guru” and warned of potential attacks on the Parliament later this week.
- Despite the alarming nature of the messages, search operations until midday found no suspicious objects at any location.
Authorities suspect this might be a hoax, similar to the threats received earlier this week on February 9. However, the police are maintaining a strict alert due to recent security incidents near the Red Fort.
