Hindustan TimesBengaluru police are conducting searches in at least six schools after they received a bomb threat on Friday morning. Police, who have cleared two schools so far, said the threat prima facie appears to be a hoax.

An officer in the know of the developments said that the contents of the email read: “A very powerful bomb has been planted in your school, attention is not a joke, this is not a joke, a very powerful bomb has been planted in your school, immediately call the police and sappers, hundreds of lives may suffer, including yours, do not delay, now everything is only in your hands!.” The officer added examinations were underway at some of the schools.
