Bengaluru, July 18 (NationPress) In a disturbing turn of events, an email containing a bomb threat was dispatched to 40 private schools throughout Bengaluru on Friday. Authorities, not taking any risks, swiftly responded by evacuating students and initiating a thorough search operation at the affected schools.
This unsettling news has left parents in shock and has created a sense of panic in the surrounding areas. The alarming email targeted various educational institutions, including those located in RR Nagar and Kengeri.
In addition to the police, specialized units such as the bomb disposal squad and canine units were deployed to conduct inspections and searches.
The threat originated from the email address roadkill333@atomicmail.io, and the sender ominously claimed: "Hello, I am writing to let you know that I have placed several explosive devices (Trinitrotoluene) within the school classrooms."
The message went on to state in bold letters, "I will erase every last one of you from this world. Not a single soul will survive. I will gladly laugh when I will watch the news. Only to see the parents show up at the school and to be greeted by the cold, dismembered bodies of their children. You all deserve to suffer. I truly hate my life, I will commit suicide after the news kicks in. I will slit my throat and slit my wrists. I was never truly helped. Psychiatrists, psychologists, no one has ever cared, and no one will ever care. You only care about medicating the helpless and clueless humans. Psychiatrists never tell you that those meds ruin your organs or that they cause disgusting weight gain."
The email concluded with, "You brainwash people into thinking psychiatric meds can help them. But, they don't. I am living proof that they do not. You all deserve this. You deserve to suffer just like me."
More information is expected to surface regarding this alarming incident.
On December 1, 2023, over 15 private schools in Bengaluru also received bomb threats via email, which later turned out to be hoaxes.
As a result of this latest incident, tension remained high around the school premises. The threats were sent to the official email addresses of the schools and were discovered by staff members during the morning hours.
