According to police, the Cyber Police Station in South District constituted a dedicated team that conducted a detailed technical analysis of the email and examined digital evidence and associated linkages. Those efforts identified the alleged sender as a student of the school itself, referred to by police as a child in conflict with the law. Police said the alleged motive was to get the school closed for the day.
