At least 40 schools in Bengaluru received bomb threats via email on Friday, prompting swift police action. The messages claimed explosives were hidden in classrooms, triggering evacuations and searches by bomb squads and sniffer dogs. No explosives were found, Xinhua reported.
The incident follows a series of recent hoax threats in Delhi and at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, adding to growing concerns over such false alarms disrupting public life.
