3-hr search at school after bomb hoax
The threat was declared a hoax after the search, which lasted over three hours.
The police team, comprising the bomb squad of the detective department and the Shakespeare Sarani Police, claimed they did not carry out any evacuation to avoid panic.
"We went from class to class and completed the necessary search," said a police officer.
Both the Kolkata Police Special Task Force and the detective department began an investigation into the origin of the email.
Joint CP (Crime & Traffic) Rupesh Kumar confirmed the threat mail but refused to share the police response to the same.
The principal of the school said: "I got an email at 6 am and informed my seniors. They asked me to inform Shakespeare Sarani PS. The police came immediately, and the bomb squad was there along with sniffer dogs. They did a thorough combing exercise, and everything was over by 1 pm. Nothing was found, and no classes got disrupted."

‘Senior terrorist eliminated': IDF says Hamas military control department head killed in Khan Younis
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it has killed a senior Hamas figure in an airstrike in southern Gaza, releasing video footage of the operation. In a post on X, the military said that on 9 August 2025, the IDF and Shin Bet, under the leadership of the Southern Command, struck in the Khan Younis area, eliminating Nasser Moussa, a senior terrorist in Hamas's Rafah Brigade. — idfonline (@idfonline) According to the IDF, Moussa served as head of the military control department of Hamas and was responsible for training and preparing the brigade's fighters for operations against Israeli forces and civilians. 'Moussa was a close associate of Mohammed Shabana, the commander of the Rafah Brigade, who was eliminated in May 2025,' the statement said. The IDF added that Moussa had also held roles as head of military intelligence and the observation network for the Rafah Brigade, and that his death 'further weakens the Rafah Brigade and hampers the ability of Hamas terrorists to carry out terrorist operations against IDF forces in the area. ' The IDF said that a day before Moussa's death, fighter jets struck a building in Khan Younis used for storing rockets intended for launch against Israel. Ground and air operations continue across Gaza, it added, with the 36th Division conducting offensive actions in Khan Younis, destroying a terrorist structure and eliminating cells, while the Gaza Division destroyed dozens of military sites in the south and carried out targeted airstrikes. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo In the north, the 99th Division continues to secure the Gaza Envelope, destroying tunnel shafts and killing militants. 'The IDF and Shin Bet will continue to operate with force against terrorist organisations in the Gaza Strip,' the statement concluded. The announcement came as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza deepened. Hospitals reported fresh casualties from Israeli strikes, and Gaza's Health Ministry said the death toll since the start of the war had risen to more than 61,700, with nearly half women and children. Aid groups accused Israel of blocking relief supplies through restrictive rules, claims the Israeli military body COGAT denied, saying delays occur only when organisations fail to meet security requirements. International criticism of Israel's military campaign and aid restrictions has grown, with several countries citing the crisis as a factor in moves toward recognising Palestinian statehood. Meanwhile, Israel has advanced plans for new West Bank settlements, prompting further condemnation from rights groups and foreign governments.
