3 Vadodara schools declare holiday after bomb threat; turns out to be a hoax

Three schools of an education society in Gujarat's Vadodara city declared a holiday on Friday after one of them received a bomb threat through an email, which eventually turned out to be a hoax, officials said.

Searches were conducted in all three schools after the threat mail, but nothing suspicious was found, they said. According to an official, the Vadodara police swung into action on Friday morning after the principal of Navrachana International School, situated on Bhayli-Vasna Road in the city, informed the control room about the bomb threat she received on the official email of the school.
