As many as 44 schools across Bengaluru received bomb threats through anonymous emails on Friday, causing panic among students, parents, and school authorities. Bengaluru Police evacuated students and staff from the schools as a safety precaution.
The Bengaluru Police Commissioner said in a post on X (formerly Twitter), "Certain schools in Bengaluru city have received emails today morning indicating 'bomb threat'. Anti-sabotage and bomb detection squads have been pressed into service to verify and ascertain. The calls seem to be a hoax. Even then, all efforts will be made to trace the culprits."
