Private firm gets hoax call

A private company situated in Ecospace Bellandur got a hoax bomb threat call on Tuesday.

The reception got the call on Tuesday afternoon and the caller claimed that a bomb had been planted and will explode soon.

The staff alerted the jurisdictional police who roped in the dog squad and bomb disposal squad. The teams rushed to the spot and sanitised the area to confirm that it was hoax.

The police, meanwhile, are trying to track down the caller and suspect the involvement of a sacked employee.

The police suspected that a few days ago, the company terminated an employee for his under performance and bad behaviour. Enraged by this, he wanted to avenge and made the hoax call.

The police have taken up a case and are trying to track down the caller.
