A private school in Rohini whose website was hacked a month ago has received a call from an international number in which the caller threatened the school authorities and asked the owner to be careful. The police officials are investigating the matter. However, no case has been registered so far. The police officers believe that it might be a hoax call but they cannot take chance with regard to school security.
According to the police, the website of the school was hacked in November and posts about Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) were seen. The school authorities informed the police, who in turn referred it to the Cyber Cell of Delhi Police. Investigation has been taken up to identify the device that was used for hacking the school website.
In the meantime the school authorities received a call on the landline. The principal of the school claimed that the person on the phone spoke in Arabic and threatened to eliminate the owner of the school.
"The principal informed the police verbally but has not given a written complaint. We are investigating the matter and trying to trace the caller. It might be a prank as well by someone," said a senior police officer. Also the police officers who were already doing an exercise with regard to the safety of the schools have now also asked for a blueprint map of the school to ascertain the entry and exit points in order to prevent an untoward incident.
School authorities were unreachable however a source from the administration department only confirmed the hacking of the website on November 15. Meanwhile police sources said that the owners of the school are mired in property dispute and they created the alibis of school being threatened to get security from the police.
