BENGALURU: Scare and tension gripped 16 schools in Bengaluru on Friday after they received emails that said powerful bombs had been planted on their campus and they would go off killing hundreds of people.
The school managements alerted the police control room, following which bomb-defusal squads, accompanied by sniffer dogs, screened the premises before declaring that the threat emails were hoax. Police said all emails had the same text but were sent from different mail IDs. Some schools received emails on their various IDs. Cops are yet to conclude whether the mails were the job of pranksters or miscreants acting with an agenda.
