Bomb threat at Bengaluru school; Students sent home
Bengaluru: A private school located in east Bengaluru was evacuated on Tuesday following a bomb threat, with students being sent home as a precautionary measure.
According to police, the threat was delivered via email to Chrysalis High, Varthur. "Manual checking of the school is over. Nothing substantial. Dog squad is on the way," Deccan Herald quoted a senior police officer as saying.
Authorities are continuing to investigate, and more information is awaited.
This incident comes just days after more than 40 schools in Bengaluru received similar email threats, which were later confirmed to be hoaxes after comprehensive searches.

Justice Swarana K Sharma starts contempt case against Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia over excise posts
New Delhi (PTI): Delhi High Court judge Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma on Thursday initiated criminal contempt proceedings against AAP leaders Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia, Durgesh Pathak, Sanjay Singh, Saurabh Bhardwaj and others over their "vilifying" social media posts against her in relation to the excise policy case.
Justice Sharma said the former Delhi chief minister "orchestrated a calculated campaign" of vilification against her on social media instead of pursuing his legal remedies and clarified that the CBI's petition against the discharge of all accused persons would now be taken up by another bench.
The judge took exception to several social media posts by the proposed contemnors that attributed "political allegiance" to her and allegedly targeted her by posting a misleading "edited" video of a speech given by her at an educational institution in Varanasi.
"Arvind Kejriwal sought to destroy my reputation instead of availing legal remedies after I refused to recuse and a deliberate attempt to lower the court's authority can't be permitted in guise of free speech," Justice Sharma said.
She clarified that she was not recusing herself but was only transferring the case to another bench as she has initiated the contempt proceedings.
Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, appearing for CBI, thanked Justice Sharma for upholding the institution's dignity.
