Following thorough searches, no explosive devices were found. Staff and students were instructed to evacuate the buildings, except in examination centres where enhanced security measures were implemented.
Authorities are attributing this incident to a prank from a mentally unstable person.
The Central CID’s Cyber Crime Unit has also been activated to trace the origin of the “emails” that landed in the electronic mailboxes of the 52 schools.
