NEW DELHI: Delhi Police on Sunday said the bomb threat emails sent to two schools in Rohini were sent by their own students.

According to the police, both students sent threat emails as they wanted to postpone their exams because they were not prepared.

“After investigation by the Special Cell of Delhi Police, it was found that the emails were sent to both schools by two students of these schools. Both students had sent the emails to stall the exam because they were not prepared,” Delhi Police said.

“Since both were students, they were counselled and let off,” Delhi Police added.
