Constant threats in three days, increased concern

Police is investigating seriously
Senior Delhi Police officials say that all the threats are being taken seriously, and the help of cyber cell is being taken to identify the email sender. Police said that it can also be a part of mischief or any conspiracy, which is being investigated for every aspect.
Constant threats have been worried about students studying in schools in Delhi, their parents and staff. Although quick action by police and security agencies has given relief, the matter is now demanding an inquiry towards cyber terraism.
