The e-mail warned the school of "massive and highly dangerous explosives" on its premises. "Your lack of strict bag checks for students entering the school has provided us with the perfect opportunity to carry out our plan," the e-mail, shared by police sources, read.
According to the mail, the sender of the mail knew about the exam schedule and the movement of students inside the school premises.
"During this time, everyone apart from the students writing the exam will either be standing outside on the field or wandering around the building.
You will remain completely unaware of the devastating explosives that have already been planted in multiple key locations on your premises," mentions the email.(With Agency Inputs)
