Similar precautions were reportedly taken at other schools, with parents being informed and asked to take their children home.The District Education Officer (DEO) instructed the schools to inform their respective local police stations and send students home to prevent panic and ensure their safety.
The email also reportedly threatened Diljit Dosanjh’s upcoming concert and major stadiums, including Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on November 1 and Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium on November 21.The threat was allegedly issued in the name of the “Khalistan National Army – Babbar Khalsa (Parmar-Canada)”.
