In a heartwarming display of support, a retired government official in Kanpur welcomed his daughter, who had recently divorced, back home with a lively celebration complete with music and dancing.

Anil Kumar, who used to work for BSNL, explained, “We sent her off to her marriage with joy, and now, as she starts anew, we want her to feel proud and confident.” His daughter Urvi, 36, works as an engineer at Palam Airport in New Delhi. She was married to a computer engineer in 2016, and the couple had been living in Delhi with their daughter.

Urvi faced challenges in her marriage, including alleged harassment by her in-laws for dowry. After enduring years of difficulties, she decided to seek a divorce, which was granted by the court on Feb 28.

Anil shared, “When I brought her back home, I arranged for music and dancing to show that it’s important to support our daughters, especially during tough times like divorce.”

Urvi’s mother, Kusumlata, shared her excitement about being reunited with her daughter and granddaughter, expressing, “It’s a wonderful feeling.”

The Delhi Police Commissioner, Sanjay Arora, received a threatening email about a bomb at a school near Nangloi railway station. This email, received at 10:17 am from a Gmail user, warned of an explosion at 2:18 pm. In response, the Commissioner’s office immediately alerted the Special Cell and Crime Branch to investigate. The police traced the email to a minor who had created a fake email ID and used a new SIM card for this purpose. The police picked up the juvenile from Outer Delhi for questioning and are verifying his age.

This incident followed a similar threat sent to over 150 schools in Delhi-NCR the day before. Schools, including Sanskriti School in Chanakyapuri, received emails threatening to blow up their premises. One 12-year-old boy was apprehended from Southern range in connection with these threats. After counselling and examination, he admitted his mistake and was released to his parents.

The police have filed an FIR under IPC sections related to criminal conspiracy and intimidation. They suspect that the emails were sent with the intention of creating panic and disturbance. The Special Cell’s Counter-Intelligence Unit traced the email to a Russian IP address (mail.ru), indicating international involvement in the hoax.

The Delhi Police have also sought assistance from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Interpol for further investigation. The CBI, experienced in handling similar cases, will coordinate with Interpol to involve law enforcement agencies worldwide.

This incident has put the national capital on high alert. Schools have been thoroughly checked, and security measures have been heightened. The police responded swiftly to ensure the safety of students and staff, evacuating schools and conducting anti-sabotage checks.

The minor who sent the threatening email to the Delhi Police Commissioner did so as an act of mischief, according to Delhi Police spokesperson Suman Malwa. The juvenile has been counselled and handed over to his parents. The police are continuing their investigation into these threats to prevent similar incidents in the future.
