Overview
- ISRO headquarters in Bengaluru, which received a bomb-threat email Thursday, was evacuated while police, the Bomb Detection and Disposal Squad and dog squads carried out a full search of the campus.
- Search teams found no suspicious device and a senior police officer declared the warning a hoax after on-site checks and sanitisation.
- Multiple police teams have opened an investigation and the Sanjaynagar police are verifying the email source as investigators trace the sender and probe motive.
- Authorities are examining whether the message was routed from overseas and will use digital forensics on email headers and server logs to establish origin.
- Officials note the incident follows similar anonymous bomb-threat emails sent to Delhi schools last year, a pattern that forces repeated large security responses and strains local emergency resources.
