An email warning of a bomb forced authorities to conduct a thorough search of a Nagpur school, but officials reported that no suspicious items were discovered.
Police in Maharashtra received an anonymous email that warned of a possible bomb at a private school in Nagpur. The message prompted the district administration to order an immediate lockdown and to dispatch bomb squads and forensic teams to the premises.
The security teams evacuated students and staff, sealed the campus and carried out a systematic sweep of classrooms, laboratories, and common areas using bomb detection equipment and sniffer dogs. The operation lasted several hours and involved coordination between the state police, the Anti‑Terrorism Squad and school authorities.
After the exhaustive search, officials announced that no explosive devices or any other suspicious material were found. The school reopened later in the day after a safety clearance was issued, while the investigation into the source of the threat email remains ongoing.
