Bengaluru Police received a hoax call from an unidentified caller about a bomb threat in the Karnataka Raj Bhavan on Monday night. Police immediately dispatched a bomb squad to search the premises, but nothing was found.

Police said they will lodge a case and conduct searches again.

Police sources said, "This was a hoax call. We'll lodge an FIR. We got a call yesterday at midnight from an unknown number to our control room saying they've kept a bomb in Raj Bhavan. We will conduct another search today."

The bomb threat incident comes 10 days after around 44 schools across Bengaluru received bomb threats through anonymous emails on Friday, causing panic among students, parents, and school authorities.

The first wave of threats targeted seven schools, including Napel and Vidyashilpa in Basaveshwar Nagar. One of the schools threatened is situated opposite the residence of Karnataka's Deputy Chief Minister, DK Shivakumar.

Shortly afterwards, several more educational institutions received similar threats via email. Bengaluru Police evacuated students and staff from the schools as a safety precaution.

Despite indications that the threats might be hoaxes, police conducted searches across schools and vacated the premises.
