School Bomb Scare Originated From Students' Online Gaming Chat Group: UP Cops

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South Zone), Tej Swaroop Singh, said, "Chatting during an online gaming session by a group of children aged between 10-11 years went awry when a message of a bomb attack was wrongly forwarded to a private school's email ID in Lucknow."

The bomb threat emails sent to schools in Lucknow on May 13 were the handiwork of a group of school children who 'accidentally' forwarded the emails during an online chatting session, officials said.

The Lucknow police and the Anti-Terror Squad (ATS) wings of the Uttar Pradesh Police have worked out the case.
