Over 40 schools in Delhi received a chilling bomb threat email stating, ‘Will gladly laugh…’—prompting mass evacuations and security sweeps. Here’s what the message said and how authorities responded.
Will gladly laugh…”: Inside the Harrowing Bomb Threat Emails to Over 40 Delhi Schools
A Wave of Terror
On Friday, July 18, 2025, over 40 schools across Delhi—among them Richmond Global in Paschim Vihar, Abhinav Public in Rohini, St. Xavier’s in Civil Lines, and The Sovereign in Rohini—were rocked by chilling bomb threat emails. This marked the fourth wave of threats in just five days, triggering widespread evacuations and emergency service responses.
Each email carried horrifying details of planted bombs and concluded with a disturbing message:
“I will erase every last one of you from this world. Not a single soul will survive. I will gladly laugh when I will watch the news… cold, dismembered bodies of their children.”
The threats specifically mentioned trinitrotoluene (TNT) concealed in black plastic bags within classrooms—a worst‑case scenario prime for terror.
The Full Text: A Glimpse into the Horror
Delhi Police and fire department officials confirm the email addressed to Richmond Global School contained violent, personal grievances, with the sender targeting both students and the mental health system. Highlights from the message include:
- Explosive placement claim: “I have placed several explosive devices (trinitrotoluene) within school classrooms”.
- Threat of mass murder: “I will erase every last one of you… Not a single soul will survive.”
- Sadistic laughter: “I will gladly laugh when… the cold, dismembered bodies of their children.”
- Mental health tirade: “You only care about medicating the helpless… You brainwash people… I [am] living proof that they [psychiatric meds] do not. You all deserve .
- Suicide vow: “I will commit suicide after the news, will slit my throat and slit my wrists.”
The mail concluded with a harrowing note of self‑destruction—a suicide promise post‑attack, suggesting profound deliberate intent and psychosis.
Repeated Hoax Waves and Escalating Fear
This latest scare in July forms a pattern of at least four hoax waves this week:
- Monday, July 14: Navy Children’s School, CRPF Public (Dwarka), CRPF School (Rohini) all received threats; students evacuated—no bombs found.
- Tuesday, July 15: St. Thomas in Dwarka and St. Stephen’s College were targeted; a 12‑year‑old Delhi student was later identified as the prankster and briefly arrested.
- Wednesday, July 16: Vasant Valley and St. Thomas again hit; police launched searches amid growing hysteria.
- Friday, July 18: The largest wave—over 40 schools hit—triggered sweeping security responses across the city.
Authorities are treating these not as isolated pranks but as a security crisis. Delhi Police cyber units are investigating possible links—emails likely sent via VPNs and hidden through the dark web, similar to threats in February and October 2024.
Response and Reaction
Bomb disposal teams, fire brigades, dog squads, and Delhi Police have responded swiftly—evacuating schools, cordoning off areas, and conducting intensive searches. So far, fortunately, no explosives have been found.
Parents, students, and staff have been deeply shaken. Anxiety and fear have spread among WhatsApp groups and communities, with some describing the issue as “not just fear but a disruption to daily life”.
Authorities, meanwhile, have ramped up measures:
- Delhi Directorate of Education rolled out a 115‑point SOP for bomb threats in May .
- Cybercriminal squads are actively tracing digital origins—particularly encrypted routes and VPNs—to unmask perpetrators.
Who Is Behind This—and Why?
While no explosives have been found, the tone and pattern of the emails suggest more than a childish prank:
- The messages reference mental‑health distress and direct anger at psychiatrists, indicating a possible lone individual with personal grievances.
- Email trail investigations hint at anonymity via VPNs and dark‑web tunnels, making tracing and attribution extremely difficult.
- Past incidents—including a 12‑year‑old prankster—underscore that children may mimic others, but this recent message seems more malicious and ideologically charged.
Still, authorities have confirmed these are hoax threats—no bombs detected. However, similarities to previous waves (Feb & Oct 2024 and May 2025) have led to fresh probe efforts.
What Happens Next?
Police and Cyber Units
- Tracing VPN and dark‑web footprints. Delhi Police’s cybercrime cell is working to uncover the identity and link the waves .
- Monitoring digital patterns. Officials are looking for overlap with past incidents to assess if this is a lone, repeat prankster or a coordinated campaign .
School Safety Protocols
- Evacuation drills are being routinely practiced across all Delhi schools under the SOP, reinforcing preparedness.
- Enhanced email scrutiny: school IT teams are urged to monitor incoming threats, implement DMARC/SPF/DKIM checks, and establish direct alert lines with Delhi Police.
Community Support
- Parent‑teacher forums have convened to offer emotional support and reassurance.
- Counseling resources are being offered to students distressed by recurring threats and disruptions.
Looking Ahead: Breaking the Cycle
Although these threats have been classified as hoaxes, their psychological impact remains real. Authorities emphasize that:
- Every threat is taken seriously and investigated—never dismissed as mere jokes.
- School safety preparedness must evolve continuously.
- Transparency and communication between schools, parents, and law enforcement is essential.
Until the person(s) behind the emails are caught, heightened vigilance is critical. Only a concrete resolution will end this cycle of fear and protect Delhi’s students.
