With the fear of failing in the examination, he sent the threat, which turned out to be a hoax after a thorough search of the school and its premises on Monday, by email to the National Hill View Public school.
"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," a police officer said.
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.
