Delhi Student Sends Hoax Bomb Threat to School to Postpone Exam

A student at Vishal Bharati School in West Delhi was apprehended for sending a hoax bomb threat via email to his own school. The threat, which prompted a full evacuation and search by bomb disposal squads, was found to be a ploy by the student to avoid taking an exam he was unprepared for. After tracing the email, police questioned the student, who confessed to sending the message in the hope that the school would declare a holiday.
