School bomb threat in India: Threat sent from IP address linked to Budapest

According to a Delhi Police official, the bomb threat emails that reached around 150 schools in the Delhi-NCR region earlier this month are suspected to have been sent from Budapest.

According to NDTV, the case has caused a lot of confusion in educational institutions. The police have managed to trace the IP address of the emails to Budapest. The Delhi Police will soon contact their Hungary counterpart for further investigation.

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique identification number assigned to every device connected to the Internet.

The threat, which rang alarm bells with security agencies, was later declared a hoax as nothing objectionable was found on school premises.

After reporting the case, the police wrote to the Russian-based mail service company “mail.ru” through Interpol.

The letter, allegedly sent from a mail.ru server, claimed that explosives had been planted on the school grounds, triggering a mass evacuation when panicked parents rushed to pick up their children on 1 May.

The police were investigating the IP address used to send the emails, as well as the sender and origin of the emails, to decipher the conspiracy and motive behind the panic-stricken Delhi-NCR-wide bomb scandal.
