The Delhi Police have uncovered the identity of a Class-12 student who allegedly sent hoax bomb threats to more than 400 schools across the city. The revelation came after a series of investigations linked the boy's parents to an NGO with connections to a political party.
According to Special Commissioner of Police Madhup Tewari, the juvenile employed a virtual private network (VPN) to mask the origins of these threats, posing challenges for investigators. Forensic analysis of his devices confirmed his involvement.
Authorities are now probing potential links to a larger conspiracy, given the NGO's political affiliations, aiming to create public unrest through such disruptive activities. An FIR has been filed under relevant sections to further the investigation.
