More than a dozen schools in Nagpur, Maharashtra, received bomb threat emails early Tuesday, police said. Officers searched the premises and found no explosives or suspicious objects. The threat has been declared a hoax. The email, sent from a Gmail account, claimed explosions would occur at the schools at 1.11 pm on August 31, and later target courts and offices. It also referenced Khalistan, the RSS, BJP and several political leaders. Police are investigating the source and will register an offence. Authorities urged the public not to panic.

There is no competing or critical framing to compare. The coverage is factual and unembellished, with no judgement on the police response or the threat’s political references.
