July 23, 2025 | Agra, Uttar Pradesh
Panic swept across Agra on Saturday morning as multiple schools, including the well-known Shri Ram School, received bomb threat emails. The sudden alerts triggered emergency evacuations, massive police deployment, and investigations by cyber crime and bomb disposal units. Though no explosives were found, the psychological impact on students, teachers, and parents was deeply unsettling.
The Threat Unfolds
According to police sources, Shri Ram School was among the first to receive the bomb threat emails shortly before morning assembly. The email raised alarm right away because it purported that bombs had been hidden on school property. As per school authorities, students were safely evacuated to open areas and later sent home.
Other schools across Agra reportedly received similar bomb threat emails, prompting widespread alert and a rapid response from law enforcement agencies.
Bomb detection and disposal teams were sent to each impacted school, according to Sudhir Kumar Singh, Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Agra. “We followed standard protocol—evacuation, perimeter control, and a thorough search. Thankfully, no suspicious object was found,” he said, adding that forensic analysis of the email content is underway.
Cyber Investigation Initiated
The police have roped in the Cyber Crime Unit to trace the origin of the threatening email. Early indications suggest that the email may have been routed through a proxy server, possibly to mask the sender’s location. Investigators are working closely with central cyber forensic agencies to unmask the culprit.
DIG Rajeev Narayan said, “We’re treating this as a serious offense. Sending bomb threats to schools is not just a criminal act but a psychological attack on our children. We’ll trace the source and ensure strict action.”
Parental concern and mass evacuations are caused by repeated email threats
Bomb threat emails were sent to over 45 schools and three institutions in Delhi on Friday, sending kids, parents, and school employees into a panic. The fact that this was the fourth such incident in a week made families in the nation’s capital even more anxious.
As soon as emergency procedures were activated, Delhi Police, bomb disposal units, dog squads, and fire services rushed to the institutions. Following evacuations and thorough searches that turned up nothing untoward, it was determined that the threats were false. In spite of this, families were clearly suffering psychologically.
Top colleges in Delhi were also targeted
Indraprastha College for Women, Hindu College, and Shri Ram College of Commerce (SRCC), all well-known universities in North Delhi, were among the universities targeted. Similar bomb threat emails were sent to a number of other schools in different districts, which prompted a citywide response.
To find out where the bomb threat emails came from, authorities have started a cyber probe. Despite the fact that no real bombs were discovered, the series of false threats has sparked grave worries about mental health, campus safety, and the abuse of internet platforms to spread fear.
Students and Parents in Shock
While the administration quickly reassured that it was a false alarm, many parents are still struggling to come to terms with the experience.
“My son hasn’t spoken a word since we brought him home,” said Mr. Vijay Tiwari, whose child studies in Class 4. This has shaken that belief.””We anticipate that our children will be safe at school.”
The district administration has advised schools to remain vigilant and follow emergency protocols. All schools have been asked to verify security cameras, conduct bag checks, and report any suspicious activity.
Safety Measures Strengthened
Following the incident, Agra’s education department issued an advisory mandating schools to hold emergency drills, coordinate with local police stations, and establish an emergency contact network among parents and authorities.
Some schools have even considered increasing security personnel and introducing visitor verification systems to prevent unauthorized access.
District Magistrate Dr. Bhanu Pratap Singh said, “Although the threat turned out to be a hoax, we cannot take chances with children’s safety. We will provide technical support to schools, including access to cyber awareness sessions.”

As a regional news reporter running SBKI News, I focus on issues that touch real lives—whether it’s safety concerns, education, health, or public interest.

My intent is to continue reporting such incidents with accuracy, sensitivity, and responsibility, because journalism is not just about breaking news—it’s about building public trust.
What Happens Next?
For now, normalcy is gradually returning. However, parents, schools, and law enforcement all agree: these types of threats, even if false, are a wake-up call.
Authorities have promised a quick breakthrough in the cyber investigation. Until then, the focus remains on safety, support, and preventing panic.
Conclusion
In a time when schools should be sanctuaries of learning and growth, such bomb threat emails remind us of vulnerabilities we must address. It is now up to administrators, police, parents, and the community to stand united and ensure our children never have to fear going to school.
