Multiple private schools in Bengaluru on Friday received bomb threats via e-mail, following which City Police personnel were rushed to the spots, along with bomb disposal squads to carry out search operations, and the threats turned out to be hoaxes.
According to senior police officials, they have received information that at least five schools in the city received the bomb threat.
Stating that bomb detection and disposal teams were also sent to schools that received threats separately, Additional Commissioner of Police Bengaluru (East) A. Subramanyeswara Rao said, "Searches have been done at all the schools and no item that causes worry has been found."
