Security agencies have launched a search operation after several schools in the national capital received bomb threats in the early hours of Monday.

Delhi Public School (DPS) Dwarka, Modern Convent School and ShreeRam World School in Sector 10, Dwarka received the threat through an email ID, prompting immediate evacuation.

Police and bomb disposal teams are conducting a thorough search of the premises of these schools, though two similar threats made earlier turned out to be hoaxes.

More details on the incident is still awaited.

In July, several educational institutions in Delhi, Richmond Global School in Paschim Vihar, the Sovereign School in Rohini Sector 24, Modern International School in Dwarka Sector 19 and the Heritage School in Rohini Sector 23 had received threats, prompting deployment of police and fire department personnel.

Three colleges of Delhi University had also received bomb threats through email in the same month.
