bomb-threat-at-kerala-secretariat-turns-out-to-be-hoax

A bomb threat was received at the Kerala secretariat on Tuesday morning prompting an inspection by the police, bomb disposal unit and the dog squad which revealed no explosive material.

An officer of the Cantonment police station said that the threat was found to be fake following the inspection.

The police started their inspection after some of the staff were asked to leave the building. The entire secretariat was not evacuated. The officer said that the police are now investigating the source of the email.

There have been several similar bomb threats sent via email this year to district collectorates, airports, and courts. However, after inspection all of them were found to be hoaxes.
