    The student was detained on Tuesday and necessary actions will be taken against him.

    Digital Desk: A Class 10 boy was taken into custody on Tuesday for reportedly creating a bomb scare in the city school where he was with the intention of forcing a postponement of an examination for which he was not prepared.

    According to the police who were involved in the inquiry, the student had an exam scheduled for July 21, and he wanted a postponement because he had not studied for it.

    He issued the threat to the National Hill View Public School through email out of worry that he would fail the exam, but it was later discovered to be a fake following a thorough search of the school and its surroundings on Monday.

    Meanwhile, a police official said, "The boy had created a new email address in the name of ‘Huchcha Venkat’, a film actor, on his father’s laptop and sent it to the school."

    Following the email, the police were on their toes, bomb and dog squads were rushed to the spot; students, teachers, and others in the school were evacuated; and parents hurried to the institution on learning about the scare.

    Later, the parents of the students hurried to the institution after learning about the incident.

    It may be mentioned that the student was detained on Tuesday and necessary actions will be taken against him.
