Around 30 schools in Delhi received bomb threats over email early on Friday, triggering a multi-agency search of the premises. Nothing suspicious was found in any of the schools after the searches.

Ikram has a long association with the sport. The former Pakistan and China hockey coach is a member of the IOC Olympic Solidarity Commission, and has been an Executive Board member of the FIH since 2016. On 5 November 2022, he was elected as the 13th President of FIH.

The South Korean team, on the other hand, is coming off a strong yet disappointing performance against Japan, ending in a 5-5 draw. They began their Asian Champions Trophy 2024 tournament with a 2-2 draw against Pakistan on Monday.

The development came within days since at least 44 schools received similar emails on December 9. Police had declared those threats as hoaxes.

In view of the current situation, the school authorities have sent messages to guardians to not send their wards for classes.

Following the scare, Delhi schools suspended their classes and urgently sent students back home. Officials from the Delhi Fire Services (DFS) added that bomb detection teams, fire officials, local police and dog squads responded immediately and conducted searches at the schools.

Back in May, bomb threats to over 200 schools across Delhi and NCR  sent authorities into alert mode and parents into panic, prompting the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to step in and issue a statement that the threats were most likely hoax.

Teams of police, bomb squad, fire service and other agencies rushed to conduct checks, parents left home or offices to pick up their children as the count of schools that received threats grew rapidly. Some schools that did not receive threats also asked parents to pick their ward as a precautionary measure.

The MHAroyal circle club, Delhi Police later said nothing was found after thorough checking. Delhi Police Crime Branch Special CP Ravinder Yadav said apart from schools, these emails were received by some hospitals also.
