Kendriya Vidyalaya at IISc receives bomb threat e-mail, turns out to be hoax

BENGALURU: The Kendriya Vidyalaya on the Indian Institute of Science campus in the city has received a bomb threat message through e-mail.

According to sources, the threat e-mail was received on January 30, but the issue has come to light only now. The email, sent from the ID from Sahukarisrinuvasarao65@gmail.com, claimed that a bomb had been planted in the school and would go off at 10.20 am on that day.

The anti-sabotage and bomb detection squads were pressed into service and it was later ascertained that the email was a hoax. A complaint was filed by the principal  Amritbala of Kendriya Vidyalaya at the Yeshwantpur police station.
