Bengaluru police investigate a hoax bomb threat email sent to the ISRO Headquarters at Antariksha Bhavan on New BEL Road. Authorities say the threatening message reached the facility on July 2 and prompted an immediate security response, with police and security personnel conducting a thorough search of the building and surrounding area. Reports state that no suspicious objects or explosives are found, and the threat is treated as a hoax.
Investigators trace the email’s origin to a man from Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh using technical and cyber analysis, including digital evidence from the sender’s electronic device. The accused is apprehended and later taken into Bengaluru police custody as part of the ongoing probe; accounts also mention coordination with Delhi police during the process.
All sources describe the case as involving a person with a history of mental illness or mental health concerns, according to preliminary findings. An FIR/case is registered based on a complaint lodged by the ISRO Headquarters administration, and further legal proceedings and investigations continue.
