CHENNAI : A few private schools in the city received a bomb threat via email early on Wednesday, police said and appealed to the public not to panic. A holiday was declared for two-three schools following an email that was received at around 1.55 am by the schools which come under the Foreshore Estate and Mylapore Police Station limits. A case has been registered and a probe was on, a police official said.
"Based on the email received we are conducting an inquiry. Efforts are on to identify the sender responsible for issuing the email. A case has been registered," an official told PTI. In February, a few private schools received similar bomb threat e-mails triggering anxious parents to rush to the schools to pick up their children.
