A school in Delhi's Greater Kailash area has been cordoned over an email threatening to blow up the school, but nothing suspicious was found by the police.
"An email was received at a school in Delhi's Greater Kailash area, threatening to blow up the school with a bomb. It is written in the email that a bomb was planted in the school yesterday. Nothing has been found in the investigation so far, legal action initiated," Delhi police said in a statement.
"A false bomb call was made in Summerfield, GK, South Delhi. Nothing was found on checking. The school has been evacuated and checked," it added.
The mail was received by the school around midnight. The email said that a bomb had been planted on the school's premises, they said.
Thorough checking was done by a bomb detection team and nothing suspicious was found, a police officer said and added that a dog squad was also deployed for the search.

The bomb threat comes just months after 150 schools in Delhi-NCR received a similar email suspected to have been sent from Hungary's capital Budapest. According to a Delhi Police official, the IP address of these emails has been traced to Budapest and Delhi Police will soon be contacting its counterpart in Hungary for further investigation.
The IP (internet protocol) address is a unique identifying number assigned to every device connected to the internet.
