New Delhi/IBNS: Over 60 schools in the national capital New Delhi and Bengaluru on Friday morning received bomb threats via email, creating panic among the school authorities, media reports said.

While 20 Delhi schools received the threat, at least 40 schools in the IT hub Bengaluru were sent the same message.

Emergency services including police, bomb disposal squad, fire department were rushed to the schools.

The students and all staff were evacuated from the targeted schools.

The threat is likely a hoax as no explosive material was found in any of these schools.

The email has been quoted by NDTV, "Hello. I am writing to let you know that I have placed several explosive devices (trinitrotoluene) within school classrooms. The explosives are skillfully hidden in black plastic bags.

"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, only to see the parents show up at the school and to be greeted by the cold, dismembered bodies of their children (sic)."

"You all deserve to suffer. I truly hate my life, I will commit suicide after the news, will slit my throat and slit my wrists."

The email sender claimed he/she did not receive the support from anyone including the psychiatrists or psychologists during his school days.

I was never truly helped. Psychiatrists, psychologists, no one has ever cared and no one will ever care. You only care about medicating the helpless and clueless human; psychiatrists never tell you that those meds ruin your organs or that they cause disgusting weight gain.

"You brainwash people into thinking psychiatric meds can help them. But they don't. I am a living proof that they do not. You all deserve this. You deserve to suffer just like me," the TV channel quoted the sender.
