Bomb Threat Email Forces Evacuation of ISRO Headquarters in Bengaluru

Investigators are tracing the message to identify the sender and to determine whether it originated outside India.

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.
