The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) evacuated its New BEL Road facility in Bengaluru after receiving a bomb threat email on Thursday.
Police confirmed that the threat triggered immediate search operations, with bomb squads deployed to the premises.
Officials said the email resembled recent hoax messages sent to the Karnataka High Court and several schools in Bengaluru. Despite the pattern, authorities treated the alert seriously and cleared the facility to ensure safety.
Search teams combed the complex thoroughly, while police maintained that nothing serious had been found so far. Investigations continue to trace the origin of the email and determine whether it forms part of a coordinated hoax campaign.
The incident has raised concerns about repeated false alarms disrupting critical institutions. ISRO staff followed evacuation protocols swiftly, and security personnel cordoned off the area to prevent panic.
