In the wake of false bomb threat claims circulating on WhatsApp, the Delhi Police on Thursday urged the public to disregard them as the messages had “no truth in them”.

This comes a day after the Directorate of Education (DoE) in Delhi issued an advisory to around 100 schools in the Delhi-NCR region. The advisory urged schools to promptly check official emails and notify authorities if anything suspicious is noticed.
