Ahmedabad school bomb threats targeting eight institutions have triggered evacuations, police checks and disruption to a Gujarat University examination, while a separate threat referenced a Diljit concert scheduled at Narendra Modi Stadium on November 21. The threats were sent by email in the name of the Khalistan National Army, according to a report by Divya Bhaskar – Ahmedabad.
The schools named in the report include Shri Narayan Guru School in Satellite, Podar International School in Chandkheda, Vidya Bharati School in Satellite and C N Vidyalaya in Ambawadi. The report said a total of eight schools received threats. The emails warned that bombs would explode at the schools at 1:11 pm and advised parents not to send their children to the concert.
The emails also contained a threat referring to actor Amitabh Bachchan and singer Diljit Dosanjh. The message stated that “Bachchan in Bombay” and “Diljit in Ahmedabad” would be killed in bomb attacks, according to the report. The report did not establish whether the threats were credible or identify the sender beyond the name used in the emails.
School authorities were directed to inform the nearest police station immediately, evacuate all children safely and hand them over to their parents, Ahmedabad District Education Officer Rohit Chaudhary was quoted as saying. Schools were also instructed to cooperate with the police investigation.
The threats affected academic activity at Shri Narayan Guru School and College in Satellite, where a Gujarat University MA Semester 3 examination was scheduled to begin at 11 am. The report said 750 examinees were initially not allowed to enter the school premises. They were permitted to enter after a bomb squad conducted checks at the campus.
The incident places schools, examination centres and a large entertainment venue within the same emergency-response chain. In practical terms, the immediate challenge for authorities is to secure multiple sites, communicate with parents and students, maintain examination arrangements and assess whether the emails represent a coordinated threat or an attempt to cause disruption. The supplied report does not provide details of any explosives being found at the schools.
The threat to the concert is linked to an event planned for November 21 at Narendra Modi Stadium. The report does not state whether the concert organisers changed their arrangements or whether additional security measures were announced for the venue. It also does not provide details of arrests, the origin of the emails or the specific police units handling the investigation.
Police checks at the affected schools and the reopening of the examination campus after the bomb squad’s inspection were the immediate steps reported. Further action will depend on the investigation into the emails and the authorities’ assessment of security at the schools and the stadium.
