The threat emails were received around 8.35 am, with the subject line claiming that bomb explosions would take place at 1.11 pm. The email warned of blasts not only in schools but also from “schools to Sabarmati Jail”.
It also made references to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently lodged in Sabarmati Jail.
Police sources said the language used in the email suggests it may have been sent in the name of Khalistani extremists, though this is yet to be confirmed.

Ahmedabad Crime Branch Joint Commissioner Sharad Singhal said that while no suspicious items have been recovered from any of the schools, all necessary precautionary security measures have been put in place.
Bomb detection squads, dog squads and local police teams are continuing intensive searches, and the source of the emails is being traced.
