Bengaluru: A bomb threat triggered panic in a residential building in Bengaluru after a threatening message warning of an explosion was found written on the wall, according to a report by India Today.
"I am going to blast India from Pakistan,” the scribbled message found at the Alphine Pyramid Apartment in the Kodigehalli area read.
Around 300 families live in the apartment. As soon residents found the message, they informed the police. Bomb disposal units and sniffer dog squads were swiftly deployed to the scene and the police carried out a comprehensive search of the premises.
The area has been cordoned off as investigations are underway. Police are working to identify who may have written the message and to determine whether the threat holds any credibility.
