On Wednesday morning, several schools in Gurugram, Haryana, India, including Shri Ram, Amity, and HDFC, received emails containing bomb threats from a group identifying itself as the 'Khalistan National Army.' The threats demanded that Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini declare April 29 as the '40th Khalistan Declaration Day' and included a threat to bomb the Red Fort in Delhi. Following the receipt of these emails at around 8:33 AM, police were notified and launched immediate searches of the school premises. Emergency protocols were implemented, leading many schools to declare holidays and send messages to parents to pick up their children. Despite the large response from police and bomb disposal teams, no explosives were found.
