BANGALORE: IT professionals working in IBM and Microsoft campuses on Airport Road were put to anxiety after they received a bomb threat on Tuesday morning.

Police said an unidentified caller informed one of the staff at 10.30 am that a bomb had been planted on the company's premises which would explode in an hour. Following this, the bomb disposal squad was put to service.

Sniffer dog squads also rushed to the spot and undertook search operations. However, the bomb threat turned out to be hoax. Efforts are on to trace the phone call, police added.
