Meanwhile, earlier, three leading engineering colleges in Bengaluru—Bangalore Institute of Technology, BMS College of Engineering, and MS Ramaiah Institute of Technology—received bomb threat emails triggering panic across their campuses.

Acting swiftly after being alerted by the college authorities, Bengaluru city police launched an investigation and confirmed the threats were hoaxes. As a precaution, the colleges evacuated students and staff while bomb disposal teams conducted thorough searches to ensure the safety of the premises.

Previously, Bishop Cotton School in central Bengaluru too received a bomb threat via email which was later confirmed to be a hoax following a detailed search by Bengaluru police.

The police identified the sender as Venkataraman, who claimed in the email that a bomb had been planted on the campus and would detonate at 3:30 PM. Although the email was sent at approximately 9 AM, school authorities noticed it only around 3 PM and immediately informed the police.
