Bomb Hoax Leads to Evacuation of Schools in Bengaluru

Authorities Respond to Second Wave of Threats in India's Tech Hub

  • Nearly 50 schools in Bengaluru, India, were evacuated following an email bomb threat, which police have since deemed a hoax.
  • This is not the first occurrence, as similar threats were received by six schools in the city last year.
  • Bengaluru, known as 'India's Silicon Valley', is home to major companies such as Amazon and Google.
  • Authorities have not closed all schools in the city, but have sent anti-sabotage teams to all the schools that received threats.
  • Efforts are being made to trace the culprits behind the hoax emails.
