Bomb hoax haunts tech firms

Bomb hoax haunts tech firms
The Times of India


Tension prevailed on Bannerghatta Road for over an hour when several hundred emp l oye e s rushed out of a building following a bomb threat on Thursday.

The bomb disposal and detection squad that checked the entire campus, housing two massive offices, did not find any explosive material. The threat turned out to be a hoax. The reception desk of Convergys received an anonymous call in the evening that a bomb would go off within a few minutes. The building that houses the Airtel office too was evacuated and anxious employees came onto Bannerghatta Road. While police and the squads checked the building, there was chaos outside as traffic on the busy road got jammed.
