Bengaluru Bomb Threat Email Text

“There are explosive devices on the school grounds 

On November 26 martyrs in the way of Allah killed hundreds of idolaters

It is truly powerful to hold a knife over tens of millions of thin gulps of kafirs He falls and falls

Hundreds of Mujahideen flooded the war area in anticipation of martyrdom in the way of Allah You are the enemies of Allah we will kill you and your children

You have a choice to become our slaves or to accept the true religion of Allah Temples

Your idols

From Buddha to infinity

They will fly apart from our explosions

Bismillah, we will spread the true religion of Allah to the whole of India

And we sent predators at you

Already flying to immerse yourself in the Taj

Bismillah tomorrow it will become the capital and thousands of Zionists all over the world dead

Convert to Islam or die under the weight of the sword of Islam

When you meet with non-believers, you chop off their heads

Chop off their heads and chop off all their fingers

Fight all the polytheists just as they fight all of you

Allahu Akbar”

Authorities say they are actively investigating the origin of these emails to determine their credibility and ensure the safety of students and staff. The threats have prompted heightened security measures, and local law enforcement is working closely with the affected schools.

After the threat was received, school authorities sent out emails to parents to inform them of the situation. The email detailed a school evacuation as a precautionary measure, with law enforcement conducting campus clearance. Classes for the day were cancelled, and bus transport and home transport instructions were provided for the safe evacuation of students.

One Bengaluru school sent an email to parents saying: “Dear Parents, We are writing to inform you about an unfortunate incident that has occurred today at our school. We have received a bomb threat amongst numerous other schools in Bangalore, and as a precautionary measure, we are initiating an evacuation. Law enforcement has been notified, and they will conduct a campus clearance. For today, classes will not resume.”

“Please be assured that the safety and well-being of our students are our top priorities. We are working closely with local authorities to ensure a swift and organized evacuation process.”

Police Commissioner say that about over 30 schools got these emails, but it seems like a hoax. “Anti-sabotage teams are at these locations just to be safe. There’s no need to panic,” a senior police official said.
