In the precincts of Coimbatore, an ominous development has unfolded at the Padma Seshastri Bala Bhavan (PSBB) Millennium School in Vadavalli and a private educational institution situated in Madipakkam, both grappling with bomb threats.
The dire missive infiltrated the PSBB Millennium School’s communication channels on the night of Sunday, arriving via electronic mail. Notably, the correspondence implicated the aforementioned Madipakkam institution, similarly casting a shadow of bomb-related peril. This represents the second instance of such an alarming threat directed at PSBB Millennium School within the recent span of days.
Swiftly responding to the explosive communique, the Coimbatore Police dispatched a specialized team, including a bomb disposal unit, to the premises of PSBB Millennium School. An immediate investigation was set into motion, with the search operation commencing at approximately 2 am.
Gratifyingly, the scrutiny yielded no traces of suspicious items during the exhaustive inspection. Nevertheless, the incident has instigated a wave of trepidation and unease among the student body and parents, given the ongoing examinations. In light of the ongoing class 11 exams in Tamil Nadu, a meticulous security sweep is presently being executed on the campus, permitting entry solely after a comprehensive vetting process.
Collaborating closely with law enforcement, the authorities are diligently working to uphold the safety and well-being of all students and staff. The police affirm an ongoing investigation to apprehend the individual responsible for dispatching the ominous email to PSBB Millennium School.
It’s worth noting that the previous month witnessed a disconcerting series of bomb threats delivered via email, targeting a total of 13 schools in Chennai. In response, police teams, accompanied by bomb squads and sniffer dogs, were swiftly deployed to the implicated institutions, conducting thorough searches. Subsequently, these threats were determined to be malicious hoaxes, prompting the registration of a case by the Greater Chennai Police Cyber Crime Wing in connection with the incidents.
