The threat, received via email at 11.54 am, claimed that bombs had been planted at two matriculation higher secondary schools operated by Bharathi Vidya Bhavan in Thindal and Therkkupallam, located 7 kilometers from Erode. The email warned that the bombs could explode at any moment.

School authorities immediately alerted the police. A Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad, along with sniffer dogs and additional police personnel, rushed to the scene to conduct a comprehensive search of the premises. The schools declared a holiday and sent all students home as a precaution. By 3.30 pm, the police completed their search and confirmed that no explosives were found, declaring the bomb threat a hoax.

The police are continuing their investigation into the current hoax threat.
