PANIC gripped Chennai after at least 13 private schools in the city received bomb threat through emails on Thursday morning. Multiple bomb detection squads and sniffer dog teams conducted anti-sabotage checks at the schools in Mannady, JJ Nagar, Anna Nag ar, Gopalapuram, Nandambakkam and Royapettah, among others, police said.
A police press release issued later in the day said that all the 13 schools were checked and the threat turned out to be a hoax. Special police and cyber crime teams have started an inquiry to trace the culprits behind the threat mails.
