A private school in Vadodara, Gujarat, received a chilling email threat at 4 am on Friday, warning of a bomb blast on the campus. The email sent shockwaves through the school administration, prompting them to inform parents immediately and declare a holiday for students and staff to ensure their safety.

The police sprang into action, launching a thorough investigation into the matter. "All agencies are actively investigating the matter," a senior police official told India Today TV. The authorities are taking no chances, sanitizing the entire building and working to trace the origin of the email.
