According to reports, a similar bomb threat was received by the school in November 2022, mentioning that explosives were planted in the premises but similar to this day, nothing was found. It was assumed that someone might have pulled a prank.

In this month itself, on April 12, 2023, Sadiq Nagar’s Indian School received a bomb threat too when the school had to be evacuated with the bomb disposal team’s inspection but nothing was found.
