AHMEDABAD: A school in Ahmedabad received a chilling blast threat via email, prompting immediate action. The institution swiftly alerted the police and the District Education Officer’s (DEO) office, raising alarms.

An email dated June 3, 2025, sent to a school in Ahmedabad, sharply accused police of negligence in a rape and dowry case. Investigators believe the threat was a calculated move to gain attention to an ongoing rape case.

The message claimed authorities were 'sleeping' over the investigation and warned that the school will be bombed to force action in the unresolved 2023 Hyderabad hotel rape case.

The email also named Divij, alleging his parents demanded a dowry of one crore from their daughter-in-law. It also questioned why no action was taken against Divij’s parents in the dowry case, intensifying demands for accountability.

School administrator Haresh Vadher told the media, “As soon as we received the email, we informed the police. They arrived with a bomb squad and thoroughly inspected the school, but found no suspicious items.”

Ahmedabad Zone 7 DCP Shivam Verma said, "The person who sent the email is under investigation, and a case will be registered”.

Bomb threats targeting schools and government offices have become a disturbing phenomenon in Gujarat.

Ahmedabad, Vadodara, and several other cities have recently faced similar alarming emails warning of explosions at schools and malls.

These recurring threats have sparked intensified security measures across the state.
